Yes, if you are in a non-built up area and the barrel is a safe distance from all buildings and only paper products are burned. No permit required.
No. Burning for the purpose of cooking or providing heat is allowed in all areas of Southwold; however, this must be done away from all buildings and in a small contained area no larger than one metre. This fire must be attended at all times by a competent adult with sufficient fire suppression/extinguishing equipment and water readily available. Items to be burned should be clean and dry firewood only. Smoke must not cause a nuisance to any neighbours.
There is no cost for a burn permit.
Burn Permits will not be issued for the built-up areas of Fingal, Shedden, Iona, Iona Station, Talbotville and Ferndale, unless the property is adjacent to an open field or area, at the discretion of the Fire Chief.
