Building Safety Fund

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether a building that has received funding from the Building Safety Fund can make a further application to that fund if additional information comes to light about other unsafe cladding, for example through a BS8414 test.

Answer: The requirements for Building Safety Fund eligibility, against which registrations are assessed, are set out in Prospectus Annex A: Technical Information of the Building Safety Fund Prospectus, available at: www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-of-non-acm-buildings#prospectus---outlining-eligibility-for-the-fund. If registrants feel that the original decision reached on their building needs to be reassessed in light of new information, an appeal form is available on the Building Safety Fund page on gov.uk.
