UK environmental law regarding nuisance is primarily governed by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA 1990), which imposes a duty on local authorities to investigate and take action against "statutory nuisances".
For an issue to be a statutory nuisance, it must either unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of a home, or injure health (or be likely to do so).

A Statutory Nuisance Under Section 79 of the EPA 1990, the following can be considered a statutory nuisance: Noise: Noise from premises, vehicles, machinery, or equipment in the street (including vibration). Smoke, Fumes, or Gases: Including garden bonfires (if regular) and smoke from industrial chimneys. Odour, Dust, or Steam: Arising from industrial, trade, or business premises. Artificial Light: Badly adjusted security lights or floodlights (excluding airport, railway, or bus station lighting). Insect Infestations: Emanating from industrial, trade, or business premises. Accumulations or Deposits: Piles of rubbish or waste that attract vermin or pose a health risk. Premises in a Bad State: Premises that are prejudicial to health or a nuisance.
