It proposes fundamental reform of building safety requirements so that residents are safe, and feel safe, in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>The proposals span 5 broad areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scope of the new regime<\/li>\n<li>the concept of dutyholders who have clear responsibilities throughout a building\u2019s design, construction and occupation<\/li>\n<li>giving residents a stronger voice in the system and ensuring their concerns are never ignored<\/li>\n<li>plans for a new building safety regulator to provide oversight of the new building safety regulatory regime<\/li>\n<li>strengthened enforcement and sanctions to deter non-compliance with the new regime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Home Office, alongside this document, has issued a call for evidence on the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005 (the \u2018Fire Safety Order\u2019). This seeks views from the fire safety sector, those it regulates and enforcing authorities on the current effectiveness and application of the Fire Safety Order to provide a regulatory framework for the ongoing management of fire safety in non-domestic premises and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Documents<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/806892\/BSP_consultation.pdf\" aria-describedby=\"attachment-3447733-accessibility-help\">Building a safer future: proposals for reform of the building safety regulatory system<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/consultations\/building-a-safer-future-proposals-for-reform-of-the-building-safety-regulatory-system\/building-a-safer-future-quick-read-guide\">Building a safer future: quick-read guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ways to respond:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.co.uk\/r\/BuildingSafetyConsultation\">Respond online<\/a> or<\/li>\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:buildingsafetyconsultation@communities.gov.uk\">buildingsafetyconsultation@communities.gov.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/consultations\/building-a-safer-future-proposals-for-reform-of-the-building-safety-regulatory-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England\u2019s Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) seeks views on proposals for a radically new building and fire safety system, with the consultation closing 31 July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23031"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23033,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23031\/revisions\/23033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
