Green notice 2026/02
Summary
The Bank of England has issued a follow-up Green Notice on its consultation about discontinuing the collection and publication of Form BN data. After reviewing consultation feedback, it says the statistics cannot currently be recreated from other sources such as Form CC/CL because of practical challenges, so further next steps are being outlined.
Why it matters
This is relevant to surveyors and property professionals involved in regulated reporting or finance-related data submissions, as changes to statistical return requirements can affect compliance processes. It also signals that the Bank of England is still assessing the operational impact of any future change.
