Building Regs to get red tape challenge
13/01/2012 10:46:16
Statutory construction regulations, including the Building Regulations, are to be made open to public scrutiny this month. They have just been released on the government's Red Tape Challenge website (www.redtapechallenge.cabinetoffice.gov.uk ). This is despite the fact that some parts of the Buildings Regs will be out for consultation in 2012.The objective of this challenge is to reduce red tape to increase business efficiency, without compromising on safety. Housing, Construction and Planning is the latest sector featured on the website, allowing comment on regulations, from those it affects.
At the end of the consultation period, all comments will be forwarded to a "Star Chamber" chaired by Oliver Letwin, Minister of State for the Cabinet Office, where he and his team will decide upon which regulations need strengthening, and which should be abolished.
The common thought is that this will not have much effect on the existing regulations in the short term. The industry has threatened to radically change Building Regulations over the years but as yet we have only seen increased regulation, not de-regulation. Proposed revisions to the Building Regulations are expected in draft form early this year, to be implemented next year, in 2013.
Ensure your team is up to date with the Building Regulations, changes and proposals, with our one day course 'Keeping up to speed with the latest Building & Fire Regulations'.
