Moon Maiden Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I don't know about laws. I always thought it was common decency to at least to wait until your neighbours washing was in or to warn them. Moon Maiden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I think it has to be after 6pm, but note sheffield is a smokeless zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterm Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Unless there are specific bye-laws in Sheffield ( I don't know if there are) then I found this on the net. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, a statutory nuisance includes "smoke, fumes or gases emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance". In practice, to be considered a nuisance, a bonfire would have to be a regular problem and interfering substantially with your well-being, comfort or enjoyment of your property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbol Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I think you can have a fire to burn 'garden waste' etc at any time providing that it does not cause a nuisance. This basically means that anything goes unless someone actually complains to the council about it, and then it would have to be a regular occurrence before they would take any action. Common sense should apply, but it's surprising how many people don't have any! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yes it used to be dusk when everyone had their washing in but I doubt whether anyone takes any notice of that these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
