What requirements (apart from risk assessment, emergency plan etc) are required to be allowed to have a fire on site? Permits from local council? EA?

Posted By garyh I would ask (maybe anonymously) your local env health dept. You don't need any body's permission to do things like welding or using a blowtorch or burning equipment. Why should you need permission to have a fire? Do people get permission for bonfires on Nov 5th? (OK I know they are domestic). I would suggest that what would be relevant would be size, location, nature of any smoke emissions. Follow this link for some info http://www.charnwood.gov...resandsmokenuisance.html

Fires on building sites should be consigned to the history books, they are both dangerous and not environmentally friendly. As a CDM Co-ordinator I always advise the client that fires are banned on their construction projects for as well as the two reasons already given it is not good PR if a fire gets out of hand or simply annoys the neighbours.

Burning of waste falls both under the LA and the EA. The Local Authority covers the smoke emissions and is usually refered to as permission for white smoke. Having this consent does not in itself permit the use of a fire as it is regarded as a waste disposal process and thus an EA licence is also required.
Cwertain types of operations are exempt such as horticulturaloperations and the burning of clearance arising from civils operations providing it is done at the point of creation.
It is not easy to get unless you have a purpose made incineratr available.
