2.2 Smoke control areas (The Clean Air Act 1993 & Smoke Control Areas)
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of

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 21of the Clean Air Act 1993 by
section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland appliances are exempted by
publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform
(Scotland) Act 2014.
Similarly, 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.
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
