The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) announced a new plan to speed up external remediation work on high‑risk buildings in England. The plan creates a dedicated multidisciplinary team and account managers to streamline communication and lower individual caseloads from an average of 25 to about 10. It introduces flexible approvals that allow projects to start safely while technical issues are resolved. New guidance and resources will be released over the coming months to help industry submit higher‑quality applications. BSR aims to cut average decision times for remediation applications to under 12 weeks by December 2026 and achieve approval rates above 65%. The regulator also plans to improve digital tracking and data sharing with organisations managing government funds.
