This seems to concern the manufacture of wood products, not the painting of a garden fence, so hardly relevant here. [Irrelevancies snipped] On the contrary, EPA 90 has far more wide-reaching implications than the regulation of manufacturing processes. "Part III Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA 90). EPA 90 as amended by the Noise and Statutory Nuisance Act 1993, contains the main legislation on statutory nuisance and allows for action to be taken by either local authorities or individuals. The following are deemed to be statutory nuisances when prejudicial to health, if they become a nuisance or if they interfere with a persons' legitimate use of land such as neighbours in their homes and gardens: - Smoke emitted from premises Fumes or gases from private dwellings Dust, steam, smell or other effluvia from industrial, trade or business premises" Without doubt, noxious vapours emitted as a result of spraying garden fences with preservatives would come under the heading of "fumes or gases from private dwellings". Even an unpleasant odour from the preservative agent used might be deemed to "interfere with a person's legitimate use of land, such as neighbours in their homes and gardens". -- Walt Davidson Email: g3nyy @despammed.com ******** "Fumes and gasses from private dwellings." That's a laugh!. My next door neighbour built an extended kitchen when I was in Greece for a couple of months. When I came home his boiler's pressurised vent was five feet high from the floor and one metre from my breakfast-room . It stuck out six inches horizontally, aimed directly at the sash which when opened aerated my room. I complained to everyone in the various Authorities . The Architect laughed at me. The local Council Environment chap told him to put a cowl over it. He did . A month later they put up a smaller one. Later he removed it and to this day the alley between us is untenable so he doesn't use it, except for storing junk. Litigation cost me 250 quid. I had to prove the volume, the danger or not of the waste gasses and the noxious percentage entering the room. Anyone is allowed to have a outlet where they want it providing it is a metre away from the property border. Go round any (let's say terraced houses) and there they are!, - sticking out at knee height and bedroom height on every house wall, and crowds of children playing alongside the lower ones. I was told by the experts that the gas emitted from present-day gas boilers is not in any way toxic or a danger to health. My only solution was to knock down the breakfast room (adjoining the garage) and rebuild with an illegal wall 8 feet high, an expensive safety-glass sloping roof and it is now a utility room with clothes-washer, cupboard, fridge-freezer. Total cost to me, - 1500 quid. and no breakfast room where we had all our meals. B.T.W., On top of my duties, (At my "Work", so to say), - at Stone, Staffordshire I attended the full Heating and Ventilation course at the top world renowned College there - and I then "Clerk of Works'ed" the installations at my two new (local) large buildings, - supervised change-over . It took a year to solve the bugs they had left). - and maintained the heating installations. All on top of my prescribed duties including night call-outs and initial faults clearing in addition to my proper duties as a Consultant Comms employee. Conclusion. You cannot win against local Council jobsworthies. Nobody can sack them and their pay is secure, so they sit back and enjoy life. Thus, their impertinence, insolence, arrogance and ignorant lack of honesty, diligence , decency and productivity always goes beyond educated bounds.. That last word productivity is a particular anathema to them. Doug. ******** |

The only products from a correctly functioning gas boiler are water and CO2. (Water is the most dangerous statistically.. it kills dozens every year.) My only solution was to knock down the breakfast room (adjoining the garage) and rebuild with an illegal wall 8 feet high, an expensive safety-glass sloping roof and it is now a utility room with clothes-washer, cupboard, fridge-freezer. I would have thought that an extractor fan mounted in the window would have done the trick for about £60. If you had fitted a really powerfull one his boiler would probably have failed to work correctly. |
