RESOLVED:
 

1.1.        
To note the progress to date on the structural
appraisal of the LPS blocks and the revised early October timescale
for receipt of the Stage 1 Structural Appraisal Report.
 

1.2.        
To note that the final structural appraisal report
on the LPS blocks is forecast to be issued in Summer
2024.
 

1.3.        
To note that Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete
(RAAC) has not been identified in the LPS blocks.
 

1.4.        
To note the proposal to meet the requirements of the
Building Safety Act 2022 relating to LPS/High-Risk Building (HRB)
Registration at the end of September and provision of Key Building
Information by 28 October 2023.
 

1.5.        
To note that procurement has commenced for
additional consultancy support to complete key building information
requirements.
 

1.6.        
To note the Regulator will request a Safety Case
Report for all 13,000 HRB’s in England over a 5-year period,
often referred to as tranche 1-5. Safety Case Reports are for each
individual HRB and need to be submitted within 28 days of the
Regulator’s request. The purpose of the Safety Case Report is
to evidence the block is safe to occupy and to obtain a Building
Assessment Certificate from the Regulator to allow the block to
continue to be occupied.
 

1.7.        
To note that 15 LPS and 3 other HRB’s are
forecast to be requested by the Regulator in Year 1. The Regulator
can start to request these from 1st April 2024. No’s 1-87
Regina Road is an LPS block due to be fully vacated in November
2023 in advance of demolition, therefore, a Safety Case Report will
not be required from 1st April 2024 for this block.
 

1.8.        
To note that if the Building Safety Regulator does
not assess a Safety Case Report as being satisfactory they may
request a revised Safety Case Report be re-submitted within a
defined period. The ultimate sanction is that the Regulator does
not issue a Building Assessment Certificate and the block must be
vacated.
