Find out if your property is in a smoke control area
What are smoke control areas?
In a smoke controlled area you:
- cannot release smoke from your chimney
- can only burn authorised fuel, unless you use a Defra approved appliance - this is known as an 'exempt appliance'
When smoke is emitted from a chimney in a smoke control area, the local authority can issue a financial penalty to the person responsible.
