Complaint about my Wood Burner


Recommended Posts

What you say is important....

 

If you call it a workshop it’ll get referred to as a workshop and all of a sudden you have a workshop which may require planning consent and have waste burning regs etc applied to it. 
 

Stop calling it a ‘workshop’ and start calling it ‘ancillary’ or shed or nothing. 
 

Problems won’t arise if you don’t give any ‘labels’ that can cause problems...

The neighbours behind our yard have a dog kennels and burn the hair from the grooming parlour, that is a rank smell which stains everything it touches.

thats a worthy complaint, can’t see how people don’t like the smell of a log burner I love it

I am surprised the council have no way of measuring output from your stove rather than just taking someones word for it - someone who it seems has a grudge to bear.

 

From what you say you have done nothing wrong and unless they can physically prove that you are breaking the law surely they cannot take this any further? Funny how councils will take the "evidence" off some busybody when it suits them but getting help out of a council department is like getting blood out of a stone. Lets not forget, it is us tax payers who indirectly employ these people to "help" us.

Interesting to note: I've wondered about the strong wood smell in out road sometimes and wondered if it was our wood burners.  Wandering home after school in the dark I smelt it quite strongly again and spotted next doors chimney throwing out a huge amount of smoke so I suspect much of the smell is not our wood burner after all.

 

Not sure councils have any choice but to investigate a complaint, it is how they handle it that is important.

When I had an open fire I could always smell wood smoke out side . Since getting a stove the smell is different . More of a hot metal smell masking the wood smell .  Not as pleasant .
