Variation Order - Redcliffe and Brompton Smoke Control Area No. 10
During the year, it was decided to return to the owners forty-four
properties in Evelyn Gardens which were held on lease by the Council.
The owners agreed to accept the return of the properties prior to the
expiry of the lease,, but at the same time they indicated that they would
either carry out extensive alterations to the properties or demolish them.
In the circumstances, and to avoid unnecessary expenditure on fireplace
adaptations;, the Council agreed to make a Variation Order exempting
all the properties from the provisions of the Smoke Control Order. This
Variation Order comes into operation on the 1st July,, 1968.
New Furnaces
Section 3 requires that new furnaces,, not used mainly for domestic
purposes and exceeding a specified capacity,, shall be so far as is
practicable, smokeless. Any person installing such a furnace must give
prior notice to the Council and may submit detailed plans and specifications
for approval before the work of installation takes place.
During the year, forty-three notifications were received. These
applications were approved.
