Tables A and B set out local authority areas with high-rise social sector residential buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet building regulations identified, and those yet to be remediated, respectively. These areas are grouped into bands. The bands used are: one to five buildings, six to ten buildings, 11 to 20 buildings, and over 20 buildings.

As at 30 April, there are 37 local authorities in England where such social sector buildings were identified, of which 31 local authorities have at least one such building yet to be remediated within their boundaries.

We exclude local authorities with fewer than ten high-rise social sector buildings (regardless of whether they have cladding) from the tables below, as their inclusion could lead to the identification of one or more buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations in these areas – hence we only list 32 local authorities in Table A and 26 in Table B.

Tables C and D set out the information for private sector residential buildings. Please note that this does not include hotels or student accommodation.

As at 30 April, there are 40 local authorities in England where such private sector residential buildings were identified, of which 38 local authorities have at least one such building yet to be remediated within their boundaries.

We exclude local authorities with fewer than ten high-rise private sector residential buildings – hence only 35 local authorities are listed in Table C and 34 in Table D.
