The Remediation Acceleration Plan

 

As a reminder, the Government announced this Plan last month, saying that:-

 

• through this plan they aimed that by the end of 2029 all 18m+ (high-rise) buildings with unsafe cladding in a government funded scheme will have been remediated

 

• furthermore, by the end of 2029, every 11m+ building with unsafe cladding will either have been remediated, have a date for completion, or the landlords will be liable for severe penalties.

 

 

At the same time the Government said that it would:

 

• encourage and support developers to achieve their stretch target to start or complete remedial works on 80% of the buildings for which they are responsible by July 2026, and on 100% of those buildings by July 2027

 

• speed up the progress of buildings in government-funded schemes by reducing the time from application to works starting on site
