The Clean Air Act requires that all new industrial boiler plants shall be capable of operating without emitting smoke and a proposed installation must be notified to the council.
Solid fuel boilers with the capacity to burn fuel at a rate exceeding 45.4 kg/hr will require the chimney height to be approved and may require a dust arrestment plant to be fitted. Approval of chimney height is also required for gas or oil boilers whose capacity exceeds 366.4 kW.
