No major Building Regulations changes this Parliament, says Healey
Summary
The government has said it will avoid major changes to Building Regulations for the rest of this Parliament, aside from changes needed to improve building safety. The announcement, made by chancellor John Healey in the Budget, is intended to provide housebuilders with greater certainty over the regulatory framework.
Why it matters
For residential property surveyors, stability in Building Regulations can affect design assumptions, compliance checks and advice on refurbishment or development projects. The exception for building safety means surveyors should still expect targeted regulatory change in that area.
