Pollution control - penalty notice

In the event of justified complaint of statutory nuisance such as emissions of smoke, fumes or gases, dust, steam and smell is justified, a penalty notice will be served upon the person responsible by the local authority.

A Statutory Nuisance in this context can include emissions of smoke, fumes or gases, dust, steam and smell. The emissions must arise from premises and must materially affect the use of enjoyment or other premises. Complaints of this type are smoke and ash from industrial processes . The legislation does not allow us to deal with complaints of smells arising from domestic premises. If satisfied that a complaint of statutory nuisance is justified, an Abatement/Penalty Notice will be served upon the person responsible, occupier or owner of the premises (as appropriate) requiring that the nuisance be abated. Failure to comply with an Abatement/Penalty Notice is an offence and legal proceedings may result.
