Chimney heights
Chimney heights have to be approved by the local authority, under the Clean Air Act 1993.
Unless a chimney height has been approved, it is an offence to cause or knowingly permit a furnace to be used to:
- burn pulverised fuel
- burn at a rate of 45.4 kg or more per hour any other solid matter
- burn at a rate equivalent to 366.4 kw or more any liquid or gaseous matter
