Our joint plan for achieving this was published on 2 December 2024, alongside the government’s separate, wider Remediation Acceleration Plan to accelerate the pace of cladding remediation for buildings in England.

Under the joint plan, government and developers commit to work together to accelerate progress on developer-led remediation, so that residents feel safe in their homes again sooner and experience less disruption before, during and after remedial works.

The joint plan includes 39 commitments by developers and government that will help us to achieve 6 shared objectives:

• improve resident experience of remedial works
• accelerate work to find all unsafe buildings requiring remedial works
• Improve quality of assessments used to determine whether buildings require remedial works
• accelerate work to fix buildings
• accelerate resolution of cost-recovery negotiations between developers and social housing providers
• establish a developer-Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government working group to unblock remaining barriers to remediation

Under the joint plan, developers commit to making every effort to achieve several stretch targets:

• finish assessing all their buildings by the end of July 2025
• start or complete remedial works on 80% of their buildings by the end of July 2026
• start or complete remedial works on all their buildings by the end of July 2027
• resolve all current cost-recovery negotiations with social housing providers by the end of July 2025

Government has invited all signatories of the developer remediation contract to sign up to the joint plan. The joint plan is separate from and does not change the developer remediation contract signed by 54 developers and government.
