EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Smoke Control Areas (Exempted Fireplaces) (Scotland) Order 2014 (“the 2014 Order”). The 2014 Order made provision for certain fireplaces to be exempted from the prohibition, under section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”), of the emission of smoke in smoke control areas.

The Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 amended section 21 of the 1993 Act to allow a list of the exempted classes or descriptions of fireplace to be published in such manner as the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate. That list is published at www.scottishairquality.co.uk. Consequently, the 2014 Order is no longer required.

No Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared for this Order as no impact upon business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
