Issue - meetings

          Members of the Board received a report from the Executive Director – Environment and Regeneration, which provided an update on the new Government initiatives and associated regulatory burdens. 

          It was noted that the purpose of the Building Safety Levy (BSL) was to introduce a charge imposed on developers of new residential buildings to fund the remediation of unsafe buildings, particularly those with cladding issues, post Grenfell.  The Levy would ensure that developers bear the cost of fixing building safety issues and would be introduced in Spring 2025. 

          The report and the accompanying presentation described how the BSL would work, the exemptions inclusions and discounts and how the charges would be collected and paid to the Department. 

          It was agreed that a copy of the presentation slides would be circulated to Members after the meeting. 

RESOLVED:  That the Board receive a presentation
