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 "unauthorized 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).

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers

under the Act to authorize smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in

smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests

with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate

legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern

Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in

smoke control areas have been "authorized" in Regulations and that

appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorized"

fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the

Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

The Buxton (BX1MF) has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke

control areas when burning wood, the manufactures permanent stop

MUST BE fitted to the secondary air slider..
