The Remediation Acceleration Plan was announced today.
It sets out several key deadlines to ensure the safety of buildings with unsafe cladding in England:
– By 31 March 2025: All firms must start remediation work on high-rise buildings (18m+). If they fail to do so, the government may take direct action.
– By July 2026: Developers are encouraged to start or complete remedial works on 80% of the buildings for which they are responsible.
– By July 2027: Developers should have started or completed remedial works on 100% of the buildings for which they are responsible.
– By the end of 2029: All high-rise buildings (18m+) with unsafe cladding in government-funded schemes must be remediated, and every medium-rise building (11m+) with unsafe cladding must either be remediated, have a completion date, or the landlords will face severe penalties.
Understanding the demands on your business around safety remediation and the value a carefully managed communications and community engagement programme plays in risk mitigation, will be even more important as these new deadlines are digested.
