smoke-free zone

[canela]

Does anyone know if ED is in a smoke free zone? couldn't find the info on the council website. And am I right in thinking you can still have a wood burning stove even if it is - as it seems to say on Defra pages that several brands are authorised?

No idea about regulations, but I know a couple of people who have had the wood burning stoves in the area in the last couple of years, and never had any problems.

Yes it's a smoke controlled area - see about half way down this page.

Think this is the link you need for exempted fireplaces:
