It will be discussed next week
People who emit chimney smoke from their homes in more than 40 areas across Gedling could be fined hundreds of pounds under new air pollution plans. A Gedling Borough Council committee will discuss the proposals next week as the Labour-led council looks to clamp down on repeat offenders.
This includes only using ‘authorised fuel’ such as gas or electricity, or ‘smokeless’ fuels unless through an exempt appliance. Exempt appliances include anthracite or semi-anthracite coal burners, low-volatile steam coal, or gas. If offenders are found breaching these rules, an initial fine of £175 can be handed out. The financial penalty increases to £300 for repeat offenders.
Appeals can be made if offenders can prove there was no emission of smoke from the chimney on the specified date. Other appeal grounds include the chimney not being covered by a smoke control order or being able to prove their appliances are exempt.
