answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2024 answer text <p>It is generally accepted that the life safety risk is proportional to the height of buildings.   The risk to life from historical fire safety defects is lower in buildings under 11m, therefore building safety related remediation works are required in a very small number of buildings under 11m.</p><p>In rare cases where remediation work is required in buildings under 11 metres, the government has retrospectively extended the limitation period under Section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 enabling legal action against developers and contractors where works completed in the last 30 years made a dwelling not “fit for habitation”.</p><p>We would welcome examples of any specific cases under 11m where there are concerns to be raised with the Department for further review.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 31/01/2024 12:59:27 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
