Building safety: latest July 2026 updates
At the start of July 2026, the government published its responses to two earlier consultations on reducing the scope of work subject to the higher-risk building (HRB) regime (Consultation outcome: Proportionality in building control: categorisation of higher-risk building work and Consultation Outcome: Improving proportionality and safety outcomes in building control: telecommunications work) and also launched a new consultation on the application of the HRB regime to emergency repairs (Consultation: Improving proportionality and building safety outcomes in building control: emergency repairs under the higher-risk building regime). Alongside this, it announced new funding to support the remediation of unsafe cladding on multi-occupied residential buildings under 11 metres in England (Guidance: Buildings under 11 metres: new funding and Guidance: Buildings under 11 metres: leaseholders' and residents' guide). This Insight considers the key takeaways from each of these developments.
