Brighton & Hove heating and clean-air context
Brighton & Hove Building Control provides the approval and competent-person routes for controlled work. For wood and solid fuel, local smoke-control arrangements are also changing after the council approved a wider replacement Smoke Control Order in May 2026.
Brighton & Hove City Council explains that registered competent-person installers can self-certify specified types of work instead of the homeowner making a separate Building Regulations application. Ask the engineer what notification and completion paperwork applies to the actual appliance and system.

In May 2026 the council approved replacing its five older smoke-control areas with a new single wider Smoke Control Order. Because final implementation details were delegated, check the council's current smoke-control information for the exact address before choosing a wood-burning or solid-fuel appliance.
