Bonfires
The Clean Air Acts 1956 - 1993 make it a direct offence to burn
materials in the open air on industrial or commercial premises,
(including farms), which create dark or black smoke. This is an
offence for which there are direct powers of prosecution.
Bonfires of a more typical nature, e.g. garden waste which occur
usually at domestic premises are dealt with as a form of nuisance
where the reasonable enjoyment of another person's land or house is
being adversely affected.
At the outset, if you are bothered by smoke from garden bonfires
talk, or write to your neighbour, the majority of complaints can
usually be resolved in a neighbourly and courteous manner without
involving the Council.
