Recommendations Approved

From: Rochdale Council - December 16, 2025

Environmental Health are authorised to take action in relation to chimneys which emit dark smoke in smoke control areas (SCA’s) under Schedule 1A of the Clean Air Act 1993 (as amended by the Environment Act 2021). When the EA 2021 came into force, it brought in the potential to issue civil penalties for dark smoke emissions in SCA’s, which replaced the previous sanction of prosecution. The purpose of this legislative change is to make enforcement simpler, quicker and more proportionate. This report seeks agreement to implement civil penalties and determine the fine levels.
