2.4.1 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.

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”
