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 located 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 changes 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 appliances 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 regulations made by Welsh Ministers. Further information on
the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found at

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 Woolly Mammoth 5WS (WideScreen), WM5 & WM7 have been recommended as suitable for
use in Smoke Control Areas when burning wood logs and with a modified secondary air control to
prevent closure beyond 25% open (WM5WS) or 15% (WM5 & WM7). Authorised solid mineral
fuels can also be used in smoke control areas. A list of Authorised fuels can be found here
