Joint Plan

 

The Government has published a joint plan with the social housing sector to accelerate remediation across England

​

It has also announced plans to bring  forward (as soon as parliamentary timetable allows) a new Remediation Bill designed to make sure that Landlords are held to account for fixing unsafe cladding and to tackle the slow pace of action across the sector

​

That Bill will require:

​

• Landlords of buildings 18 metres or more in height with unsafe cladding to complete remediation by the end of 2029

• Landlords of buildings 11-18 metres in height to complete remediation bu the end of 2031

​

Those who fail to comply without reasonable excuse could face unlimited fines or imprisonment

​

The Bill will also give named bodies (such as Homes England and local authorities) powers  to remediate buildings with unsafe cladding if the Landlord fails to do so

​

The Government are also setting up a new national database for remediation, to be rolled out by Homes England) to support regulators with up-to-date building safety data and help hold failing Landlords to account
