target="_blank">HL 5795</a> on 8 March 2023. The Government expects developers to
do the right thing irrespective of where they are based.</p><p>To date, 49 developers
have signed a developer remediation contract with the Government, committing to remediate
or pay to remediate buildings that they developed or refurbished. Several of those
signatories are foreign-owned.</p><p>On 3 July 2023, we made regulations to establish
a Responsible Actors Scheme. Members of the Scheme will be required to enter into
and comply with the developer remediation contract. Any eligible developer who does
not do so will be prohibited from carrying out major development and from securing
building control approval. Any overseas-based developer that meets the criteria will
be eligible for the Scheme. Similarly, the Government's Building Safety Levy will
apply to in-scope developments by all developers, irrespective of where the developer
is based.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
