The legal requirement

Under section 18 of the Clean Air Act 1993, before making a smoke control order a local authority must publish notice of its intention in the London Gazette and in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which the order will relate.

The notice must describe the area to be covered, state the effect of the order, specify the period within which objections may be made, and indicate where the draft order and map can be inspected.

The same publication requirements apply when a local authority proposes to revoke or vary an existing smoke control order. These provisions ensure that residents and businesses in the affected area have adequate notice and the opportunity to make representations.

Key points

  • Publication required in both the London Gazette and a local newspaper
  • Required for making, variation, and revocation of smoke control orders
  • Minimum six-week objection period after publication
  • Publication certificate provides evidence of compliance
