Bonfires and the law>
There aren’t any specific laws against having a bonfire, but there are several laws that deal with the nuisance bonfires can cause.
Burning plastic, rubber or painted materials creates poisonous fumes and can have damaging health effects for people who have asthmatic or heart conditions.
This is covered under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

I agree, get on to your council about it, if it's waste from an actual business such as builders rather than from just an individual garden bonfire, there are loads more regulations about it. Hope it stops soon, it can be a real nuisance.
