Summary

This consultation seeks views on the results of the recent review of building regulations and housing standards.

This consultation ran from
20 August 2013 to 11:45pm on 22 October 2013

Consultation description

The housing standards review was launched in October 2012 following the housing and construction Red Tape Challenge, which was introduced in spring 2012.

It was a fundamental review of the building regulations framework and voluntary housing standards which aimed to rationalise the large number of codes, standards, rules, regulations and guidance that add unnecessary cost and complexity to the house building process - while delivering quality, sustainability, safety and accessibility.

The review was undertaken by a wide range of cross sectoral stakeholder working groups and this consultation sets out their proposals on:

• accessibility
• space
• security
• water efficiency
• energy
• indoor environmental standards
• materials
• process and compliance
