Buildings: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what guidance his Department has issued for cladding remediation in Conservation Areas.

Answer

Local authorities are responsible for conservation areas. The Manual to the Building Regulations notes that where the functional requirement of Part B Fire Safety applies to buildings of special architectural or historic interest, local authority building control and conservation officers may be able to advise on how to comply appropriately, if guidance intended for common building situations might prove too restrictive.
