Thank you Christine, but I do know the rules, it's just that so many
people don't and cause trouble quoting rules and bye laws which don 't
exist. I just wondered what people on here know; or 'think' they know. I
have had some interesting conversations over the latter :-)

Hard and fast written down, not 'I believe'.

Just visit all the district, and possibly county, council websites
and search for "bonfire".

But to be fair, it all depends. My garden is very long with literally a
mile of fields after that, so no-one will notice if I light a bonfire.

I understand it can be a problem with a smaller garden so Mike might
like to
check with his council about bonfire rules in his area.

'Nuisance' can only be invoked if bonfires are regularly lit -
frequently, and really *are* a nuisance.

Regularly, once a year wouldn't invoke the genie: but once a week might,
depending on the nastiness of the smoke and its effects.

You should ask on uk.legal.moderated for clearer parameters,if there are
any.
