Building regulations - compliance and enforcement: consultation
We are seeking views on the development of a new Compliance Plan Manager role within the building standards system which will apply to specific High Risk Building (HRB) types, the definition of these HRBs and the level of fines where work is not carried out in accordance with the regulations.
Part 4 – Impact Assessments And Responding To The Consultation
Equality Impact Assessment
