Article summary

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has published guidance on a Responsible Actors Scheme (RAS) for residential developers. The RAS is intended to improve the safety and standards of buildings by requiring members of the RAS to identify and remediate, or pay for the remediation of, life-critical fire safety defects in 11m+ residential buildings they developed or refurbished over the past 30 years. To demonstrate that commitment, members of the RAS will be required to enter into and comply with the terms of the developer remediation contract. Eligible developers that do not enter into and comply with the terms of the developer remediation contract will be prohibited from carrying out major development and gaining building control sign-off.
