The latest information on number of dwellings in social sector high-rise residential buildings with Aluminium Composite Material cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations that are yet to be remediated were published in the April Building Safety Programme Data Release on 9 May 2019.

Our ongoing quality checks have identified an error in the figure published in the April Data Release. This has now been corrected in the published Data Release in line with our published Revisions Policy.

The updated figure from 30 April 2019 is that approximately 8,400 dwellings in 108 social sector high-rise residential buildings with Aluminium Composite Material cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations are yet to be remediated.

The regional breakdown is in the table below:

The figures in this table have been rounded to the nearest 100 independently which explains why the sum of the rows does not equal the total.
