ESTATE REGENERATION

Impact On Changing Regulations

• The JV Board propose to construct Phase One under the incoming building safety regulations (with two staircases).

• Although the design meets current building regulations, many local authorities, housing associations and developers are now pausing to consider providing two staircases.

• The Hackitt Report, which was published following the Grenfell Inquiry, stated that buildings should not be constructed to meet the minimum standard but should strive to meet the highest standards of safety.

• Therefore we believe providing two staircases will provide the safest new homes and is the right thing to do.
