Illegal burning by those in a smokeless zone without a cleanburn stove, yes, but not found the illegal supply

 

this is the quote from kiklees

 

Virtually all of Kirklees is designated a Smoke Control Area and it is illegal to emit smoke from a building if the smoke is caused by the burning of unauthorised fuels such as wood or coal. Wood or coal can only be burned on an exempted appliance or alternatively smokeless fuels should be used. The delivery of wood fuel in a Smoke Control Area is also an offence.

'The delivery of wood fuel in a Smoke Control Area is also an offence.'

 

I'm going to dob myself in for delivering logs in Kirklees. I don't since I don't live there but this kind of crap makes me want a fight with these idiots so I'm going to waste their time a little.

I would like to see the delivery offence appear in court !!. Must be the only organisation in the country to be discouraging the use of renewable fuel. I wonder if national laws and regualtions are above local bylaws ?.

 

Others have covered the smoke cont area aspect, to burn wood in a smoke cont area the stove needs to have DEFRA approval. No Defra approval and only smokeless fuel can be burnt. When the stove is signed off as being safe by a suitably qualified person a copy of the sign off certificate gets lodged with the local building inspectorate. So they know who has a stove, what make and model it is ( and DEFRA publish a list of approved appliances) and who has installed and signed it off.

 

So its pretty easy for the authorities to see and check on non approved stoves as to their fuel usage. Burn wood in a non defra stove in a smoke cont area and you usually will be prosecuted.
