<p>The timelines for the Building Safety Fund were intended to incentivise building
owners to speed up plans to identify and remediate unsafe buildings. The deadlines
for the Fund have been set based on what we know about registrants and their readiness
to be able to deliver projects. We recognise, however, that meeting these deadlines
may not be possible in all circumstances, for instance where applicants find that
they do not have sufficient time to complete a robust and satisfactory procurement
process in order to meet the 30 June deadline. More time may be permitted on a case
by case basis, providing applicants continue to keep delivery partners fully informed
and provide them with realistic timetables.</p><p> </p><p>The announcement on 10 February
of an additional £3.5 billion of funding provides assurance for residents that all
eligible applications to the Building Safety Fund will be able to proceed. All registrants
should continue to ensure that everything is done to maximise the pace of remediation
and to continue to make progress with their applications to the Building Safety Fund
to ensure that remedial works are carried out as soon as possible.</p>
