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).
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, applies in
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke
control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid
fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and
signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
The Dean Stoves, Hembury 8 SE has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas when burning wood logs.
To use the Hembury 8 SE in smoke controlled areas the smoke control kit must be fitted to the
stove.

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

You will find an H shaped plate with holes drill in it, situated on the top of the main grate. This
grate is design to retain the ash when burning wood only and must NOT be use when burning
solid fuel (smokeless fuel or similar) or a mixture of wood and solid fuel. This plate can be
lifted out prior to lighting the fire, if required. Although the stove will burn wood straight on
the solid fuel grate, the H shaped plate retains the ash and helping to give a slower and hotter
