Local authorities are responsible for conservation areas.

The Government does not hold the data on the number of buildings where insulation has been installed through a government funded scheme and subsequently required remediation work.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since 2019, all installations under government energy efficiency schemes have been required to be carried out by TrustMark registered and PAS 2030 or MCS certified businesses to improve the quality of installations and protect consumers. TrustMark registered installers are required to provide all consumers with a guarantee covering the installation work for up to 25 years for a range of energy efficiency measures.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4372", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amanda Solloway"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Derby North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amanda Solloway"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-05-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-05-21T15:11:03.457Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "215"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy Security and Net Zero"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy Security and Net Zero"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-05-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Insulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an estimate of the number of buildings in which insulation was installed through government-funded grant schemes in which remediation of that insulation is required.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4667", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mike Amesbury"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Weaver Vale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mike Amesbury"} ], "uin" : "25934"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685329", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685329/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
It is generally accepted that the life safety risk is proportional to the height of buildings.\u202f\u202f\u202fThe risk\u202fto life\u202ffrom historical fire safety defects is lower in buildings under 11m, therefore\u202fbuilding safety related remediation works are required in a very small number of buildings under 11m.<\/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 \u201cfit for habitation\u201d.<\/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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-31T12:59:27.707Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Insulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending rights to access (a) Remediation Contribution Orders through the First-tier Tribunal and (b) other lower-cost legal action to buildings under 11 metres where leaseholders need to pursue legal action to recover cladding remediation costs.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1500", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Theresa Villiers"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chipping Barnet"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Theresa Villiers"} ], "uin" : "11595"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1684190", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1684190/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
All residential buildings above 11 metres in England now have a pathway to fix unsafe cladding, through either a taxpayer-funded scheme or developer-funded scheme; the Government has committed £5.1 billion to remove unsafe cladding from buildings. Five remediation schemes are underway:<\/p>
Residents must be at the heart of building safety. This includes the significant and disruptive works required to remediate buildings, with those responsible for the project and works considering residents as a key stakeholder throughout. To that end on 27 July 2023, we published the Code of Practice for the Remediation of Residential Buildings which sets our expectations for all remediation projects. The Code places residents at the heart of remediations projects as the key stakeholder and sets the standard for how we expect all remediation projects to account and deliver for residents.<\/p>
As of 31 December 2023, 950 buildings residential buildings over 18 metres in height in England have been deemed eligible for the Building Safety Fund due to the presence of unsafe non-ACM cladding. Of these, 486 (51%) have started or completed remediation and of those 231 (24%) have completed works.<\/p>
The then Minister for Housing last met with the FCA on 11 October 2023 and the Secretary of State met the Association of British Insurers on 13 December 2023. We continue to press the insurance industry to launch their scheme, which leaseholders need urgently. The Association of British Insurers released a public update on the scheme on their blog on 19 December 2023.<\/p>
In the last 6 months, both the Secretary of State and I have met with the FCA (on 11 October 2023) and the Association of British Insurers (on 18 August 2023, 27 November 2023 and 12 December 2023).
