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 emit smoke from a chimney 

of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if locat

-

ed in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence 

to acquire an “unauthorised fuel” for use within a smoke 

control area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance 

(“exempted” from the controls which generally apply in the 

smoke control area).

 

In England appliances are exempted by publication on a 

list by the Secretary of State in accordance with chang-

es made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 

by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly, in 

Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list 

by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory 

Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.  In Northern Ireland applianc-

es are exempted by publication on a list by the Department 

of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 

16 of the Environmental Better regulation Act (Northern 

Ireland) 2016.  In Wales appliances are exempted by regu-

lations made by Welsh Ministers.

Act can be found here:

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.

The “ApplePie by Ekol” free-standing stove has been 

recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas 

when burning wood logs.  A factory-fitted modification to the 

air controls has been implemented to ensure a minimum 

opening of the secondary air and also for the tertiary air.
