Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
Article 17 of the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (“the 1981 Order”) generally prohibits the emission of smoke in smoke control areas. Under paragraph (7) of Article 17 of the 1981 Order, the Department may exempt certain classes of fireplace from the provisions of Article 17 if it is satisfied they can be used for burning fuel other than authorised fuels without producing any smoke or a substantial quantity of smoke.
The Smoke Control Areas (Exempted Fireplaces) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) which came into operation on 2nd August 1999 prescribed those fireplaces exempted from the provisions of Article 17 of the 1981 Order.
These Regulations amend Schedule 1 of the 1999 Regulations by exempting two additional classes of fireplace. These are the Beech Wood Fired Pizza Oven and the Morsø 3400 Owl GB Series for wood burning.
