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 chim‐
ney of a building, from a furnance 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 with‐
in 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 authorise
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, ap‐
plies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for
use in smoke control areas have been „authorised" in Regluations and that appliances
used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than „authorised" fuels) have been ex‐
empted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the de‐
volved administrations.

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 de‐
tails of Clean Air Act requirements.
