answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>On 22 June we issued advice that sets out the immediate steps landlords should be taking to ensure fire safety following the identification of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding.</p><p>It is for building owners to consider whether to remove cladding. Removal of cladding needs to be done safely and without compromising other aspects of the building’s external wall system. Whilst they should take expert professional advice on this, the Department also published advice on 14 July, in a note to all building control bodies, which highlighted the key Building Regulation requirements when cladding work on high rise buildings over 18 metres tall is undertaken.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2017 answer text <p>In his newsletter to Local Planning Authorities (LPAs), the Chief Planner pointed all LPAs to Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. This Section sets out that where work does not materially alter the appearance of a building, planning permission may not be required.
