Hi, it’s Deborah and Euzi
The Queen’s speech included legislation to implement new building safety standards in light of the Grenfell Tower incident. The key elements of the legislation are:
- a new safety framework for high-rise residential buildings, taking forward the recommendations from Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review of building safety and providing clearer accountability, strengthening enforcement and sanctions to deter non-compliance with the new regime and implementing a new framework to provide national oversight of construction products, to ensure all products meet high performance standards
- developing a new system to oversee the whole built environment, with local enforcement agencies and national regulators working together to ensure that the safety of all buildings is improved
- legislating to require that developers of new build homes must belong to a New Homes Ombudsman
The main benefits of the legislation would be:
- learning the lessons from the Grenfell Tower fire and bringing about a fundamental change in the regulatory framework for high rise residential buildings, and the industry culture to ensure accountability and responsibility
- ensuring residents are safe in their homes
