UK SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare
the whole or part of the district of the Authority to
be a Smoke Control Area. It is an offence to burn an
‘unauthorised fuel’ (ie non-smokeless fuel) in a Smoke
Control Area. It is a legal requirement that fuels burnt
or obtained for use in Smoke Control Areas have been
‘authorised’ and officially designated “Smokeless
Fuels’. Wood log are not classified as a Smokeless Fuel
and therefore should not be burned in the Precision
Inset Boiler stove if it is located in a building within a
Smoke Control Area. In such a case you must only use
an Approved Smokeless Fuel.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean
Air Act can be found here:
www.smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk
.
Your local authority is responsible for implementing
the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and
supervision of Smoke Control Areas and you can
contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements.
Even if you don’t live in a Smoke Control Area it is still
the householder’s legal responsibility not to cause
nuisance smoke. Your inset stove therefore should,
at all times,
be operated in accordance with these
instructions which have been written to help you
minimise the amount of smoke produced from your
stove.
See page 11 for recommended fuels for your Precision
Inset Boiler stove.
BUILDINGS INSURANCE
It is a requirement by some building insurance
companies to inform them of the installation of a new
fixed heating appliance and a relevant certificate of
compliance produced.
