It will set clear target dates for making buildings safe and will propose to introduce significantly tougher penalties for refusing to act. 

The targets are: 

• By the end of 2029, all 18m and over (high-rise) buildings with unsafe cladding in a government-funded scheme will have been remediated. 

• By the end of 2029, every 11m and over building with unsafe cladding will either have been remediated, have a date for completion, or the landlords will be liable for severe penalties. 

The plan will also be backed by investment in enforcement – so that local authorities, fire and rescue authorities and the Building Safety Regulator have the capacity to tackle hundreds of cases per year. 

Alongside the plan, the government will publish a joint action plan with developers to accelerate their work to fix buildings for which they are responsible. 

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government announced that at least 29 developers, covering over 95% of the buildings which developers are remediating themselves, have committed to more than doubling the rate at which they have been assessing and starting to fix unsafe buildings, meaning work on all their buildings will start by summer 2027. 

To date, 95% of buildings with the same type of cladding used on Grenfell have been remediated. However, only 30% of identified buildings in England have been remediated, with potentially thousands more buildings yet to be identified.
