The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas

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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with
changes made to sections 20 and 21 of 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

Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales appliances are
exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
