Accelerating Remediation: a plan for increasing the pace of remediation of buildings with unsafe cladding in England

Following the publication of the Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 Report in September 2024, the government committed to setting out measures to increase the pace of remediation.

This plan sets out the steps that this government will take, working with partners including the Building Safety Regulator, Homes England, the Regulator of Social Housing, metro mayors, local authorities and fire and rescue authorities, to:

• increase the pace of building remediation
• identify buildings at risk
• better protect residents and leaseholders

The plan will set out a series of measures for overcoming the most significant barriers that have been identified as slowing the remediation process.

Joint plan with developers

In support of work to achieve the ambitious new targets to accelerate remediation, developers and government have published a joint plan to accelerate developer-led remediation and improve resident experience. 

Under the joint plan, developers have committed to their own stretch targets. Achieving those would require developers to more than double the overall rate at which they have been assessing and remediating buildings in 2024.
