Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Building Safety Fund for the remediation of non-ACM cladding systems, what estimate he has made of the proportion of those applicants who applied for registration with that Fund by the 31 July who are able to meet the deadline of 31 December 2020 for the submission of full cost funding applications, including a construction tender price.
The timelines for the Building Fund, set out in the prospectus, are intended to incentivise building owners to demonstrate pace of progression with their remediation plans for unsafe buildings. We will keep timelines under review as we continue through the application process. In addition to remediation funding, we are also providing technical and pre-tender support for applicants.
