​
THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW REMEDIATION ACCELERATION PLAN
​
The Government has said that a new remediation acceleration plan is to be presented before the end of the year
​
The Financial Times has recently run an article which suggested:-
​
-
​that UK Housebuilders would be given 18 months to start fixing dangerous cladding
-
the Deputy Prime Minister would be meeting housebuilding bosses later this month to finalise the plans
-
under the new proposals, developers will have 6 months from the date the plan is agreed to finish assessing whether their buildings need remediation and a further 12 months to start work
​

THE BUDGET
​
In this month's Budget, the Chancellor announced £1 billion of investment to remove dangerous cladding next year - more details are expected later this year
​
Commentators have suggested that this investment will be spread out between the two existing government remediation funds, the Cladding Safety Scheme and the Building Safety Fund
