@suejbright 1. Under PP developers are incentivised to remediate promptly on a voluntary basis to avoid reputational damage. Industry capacity is likely to be the biggest bottleneck to remediation.
@suejbright 2. PP scheme will be established within six months of the Building Safety Bill passing. Obviously voluntary remediations can be done at any time.
@suejbright 3. PP statutory scheme provides an efficient route for prompt determinations. Much cheaper than lengthy and expensive litigation through the courts. Many defects are obvious breaches of regulations, e.g. compartmentation, firestopping, etc.
@suejbright 4. There is considerable evidence from the Grenfell Inquiry and subsequent building safety inspections of widespread non-compliance with building regulations. Fire Service safety checks suggest that the majority of high-rise blocks are non-compliant in one way or other.
@suejbright 5. PP public register of non-compliance determinations will “encourage” voluntary remediation to avoid reputational damage. 6. PP allows the £5.1 billion of public funding to be focused on helping leaseholders in blocks that were compliant but are now seen as unsafe.
