Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether registrants with the Building Safety Fund who are waiting to hear whether they will be invited to submit a full detailed application will be expected to meet the 31 December 2020 deadline; and what plans he has to extend that deadline.

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.
