Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many regularisation of unauthorised building work applications the Building Safety Regulator approved in each month between October 2023 and April 2025 under regulation 47 paragraph 7 of the Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023.
The Department and the Building Safety Regulator recognise the value to the sector in providing performance data. From this quarter, BSR will be publishing quarterly data demonstrating the volumes of applications received, recorded outcomes and decision times for determination.
