Example: If a dwelling has a range cooker (with boiler) and also a gas
or electric cooker, it is not necessary to replace the range cooker. It may,
however, be necessary to provide water and or space heating.
(4) Where it is reasonably practicable and cheaper, the adaptation rather
than the replacement of an existing appliance is all that is necessary.
Example: Altering the spacing of fire bars in a grate or providing gas
ignition for an open fire otherwise capable of burning smokeless fuel.
(5) Where replacement of an appliance is necessary, reasonable freedom of
choice should be aiven to the owner or occupier as between solid fuel.
