Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which extends to Scotland only, makes provision for exemption from the prohibition, under section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, on the emission of smoke in smoke control areas.

The Order exempts those fireplaces described in the Schedule which comply with the conditions specified in respect of those fireplaces in the Schedule from the prohibitions under section 20 (article 2).

The Order revokes (article 3) and re-enacts, with changes, the Smoke Control Areas (Exempt Fireplaces) (Scotland) Order 2005, which exempted certain fireplaces from the prohibitions under section 20. The Order provides for additional fireplaces to be exempt. The additional entries are listed in entries 3-5, 8-16, 21, 22 and 24 in the Schedule.
