Future building regulations

The Communities Minister Andrew Stunell needs your views on how the Building Regulations can be improved, added to or slimmed down. He also wants to know how we can improve compliance and be more effective. Evidence from your day to day work would support your suggestions. Your ideas need to be submitted by the end of August to the following email address;

building.regulations@communities.gsi.gov.uk.

Your emails together with those already received from the Cabinet Office's 'Your Freedom and this Department's Cut Red Tape' exercises, feed into further discussions with external partners and the Building Regulations Advisory Committee in the autumn. This will help the department to decide on priorities for improving the Building Regulations with a plan to consult fully in late 2011 on a set of detailed proposals for change for 2013.
