Devon, council by council
Enquiries from all of these go to the same installer. What differs locally is the council, and whether it runs smoke control areas.
Not listed? Send the enquiry with your postcode and we'll say honestly whether it can be covered.
Exeter
Parts of the city are smoke control areas. Look up your postcode on the council's map before choosing a stove: inside a zone, wood needs a Defra-exempt model.
Plymouth
The council says there are no smoke control areas in Plymouth, but still asks for dry, seasoned wood and an eye on what leaves the chimney.
Okehampton and Tavistock
Nothing on Defra's map data. Both towns sit on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, and inside the Park the planning limits on flues facing a road are stricter.

Defra describes its smoke control map as a guide only and says to confirm with the council. Map data and council sites were checked on 15 October 2026. National Park and conservation-area planning limits: legislation.gov.uk, Class G.
