Consultation process
Part 3 of Schedule 5 to the Clean Air Act 1993
sets out the process that applies for the revocation of existing
Smoke Control Orders that were made prior to 13 November
1980.
This process requires a revocation order to be made and publicised
in the Gazette and a local newspaper for two weeks. Any objections
are sent to and considered by the Secretary of State.
Any objections received to the making of the order may be heard by
way of representation at local inquiry or in person to an appointed
representative. The order may then be confirmed with or without
modifications by the Secretary of State. Alternatively, the
Secretary of State may decide not to confirm the order.
Revocation orders shall come into effect no less than six months
after they are confirmed.
