The update also revealed that there are 149 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings in England that have completed remediation works to remove and replace ACM cladding systems – an increase of five since the end of March.
There are 307 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings with cladding unlikely to meet building regulations yet to be remediated in England, 56 of which have had their ACM cladding systems removed.
Of the 82 social sector residential buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations yet to be remediated, 73 have started remediation, while nine have a plan in place but works have not started.
Of the 180 private sector residential buildings with ACM that are yet to be remediated 49 have started remediation, 90 have a remediation plan in place but works have not started and 40 have responded with an intent to remediate and are developing plans. There is one project that has unclear remediation plans, the data added.
