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"

been "authorised" in Regulations and
that appliances used to burn solid fuel
in those areas (other than "authorised"

made and signed by the Secretary of
State or Minister in the devolved
administrations.
