Responding to today’s announcement of reforms to the Building Safety Regulator, Stephanie Pollitt, Programme Director for Housing at BusinessLDN, said:
“Developers stand ready to deliver thousands of new homes across the capital that meet the highest safety standards, but are being held up by the BSR’s logjammed gateway process.
“These reforms mark a significant step towards improving dialogue between industry and the regulator, reducing delays and progressing stalled sites.
“We particularly welcome the addition of new expertise to the regulator which will be key to getting shovels in the ground on developments which should have been signed off in weeks, but have instead been held up for months.”
