How legal is this?

Specifically, this is on a farm road that can be accessed by the public as means of getting from A to B where the farm itself would normally have made it impossible to get around, due to it being so big, next to an off-limits golf course and sandwiched between two motorways. This road is also the only means of getting to uni.

On the side of this road next to some dog kennels and the golf course there is a heap that burns on a daily basis and is frequently being replenished. The fact it's burning isn't what bothers me - it's what is burning that is a concern.

Old newspapers and magazines probably aren't so bad, there is also dog faeces burning in there but the biggest concern was all the plastic bags they put in there too. The smoke does have a very distinctive burnt plastic smell and we all know just how toxic it is. It billows right down the road and there is no way to avoid inhaling it - when you do, you begin to feel the toxic effects immediately and it's not nice nor healthy to experience this on a daily basis.

How legal is this? Does the fact it's on their own land make it legal? Is it their own land if the public are allowed to access it (and even in some cases need to access it to get to places between the farm buildings, like the allotments or the golf course, or simply to pass through the farm since there is no way around)? ]]> Waste, Recycling and Pollution Amoeba http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/waste-recycling-and-pollution/61860-burning-heaps.html
