Greener though, apparantly

All good, except that you dont need an exemption to burn up to 10 tonnes per day, only more than that.

 

 

How come? I thought under the new regime this was covered in D6 and D7 and cannot see a way around these unless in a domestic garden with the householder doing the burning.

 

I can no longer find the additional restriction on not burning at a higher rate than 1 tonne/hour, which was the one that made air curtain devices difficult to comply. Mind we had no problem with them either despite the EA man saying it couldn't legally be done, mainly because it was clean and no one complained.

I'm sure you're right, been a couple of years since I last did any.

Love a good fire . Only had local firefighters out once to a burn site . A quick chat and all was resolved . So now if we burn I always contact the local fire station and explain to them the time date and duration of fire . They have driven past the odd time , just checking the size of the fire

Good posts Collins and Bell.

 

Common sense is a good guide sometimes.

We burn if it's a must especially big dead trees that are felled and shatter into a million bits on impact,great fun collecting for chipper.Only had a cpl of problems,on one site a dip stick from the council came out with a colour card and tried to match the colour of the smoke with one on the card.White smoke no problem if not affending anyone. Next time felled a poplar in a garden over a river.Got permission off waterways to burn in their field miles away from houses.Left a small fire at 6pm in the good hands of an old boy that lived nearby,at 6.30 gets acall from the fire officer.No probs but the guy we were working for rang them, cheers great guy..lol

 

It seems common sense makes a big difference. watch the smoke and ring the fire bods in advance. One thing about fires before 6pm etc. Some Councils have a time stated in their tenancy agreements that fire's should not be started before. So you have to check when working in a council house garden or just knock a few quid off and get the tenant to burn it.

You are only allowed to burn tyres and wellies after dark. Crazy, but that's EU regulations for you.
