Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993 prohibits the emission of smoke in smoke control areas. The Secretary of State may by order made under section 21 of the Act exempt specified classes of fireplace from the provisions of section 20, if she is satisfied that they can be used for burning fuel other than authorised fuels without producing any smoke or a substantial quantity of smoke.
This Order applies to England only. Article 2 of the Order exempts the classes of fireplace listed in the first column of the Schedule to the Order from the provisions of section 20, subject to the conditions in the second column of that Schedule.
Article 3 makes minor amendments to the Smoke Control Areas (Exempted Fireplaces) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1515) to take account of a change in the class description and in the conditions relating to exempted fireplaces manufactured by Dunsley Heat Limited.
