On 14 October 2019, Her Majesty the Queen gave her speech to Parliament. The Queen’s Speech is an annual event which sets out the government’s agenda for the coming session, and outlines proposed policies and legislation.

Of consequence to the built environment were the following inclusions:

= Building safety =

The introduction of new laws comes in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy, and aims to prioritise the safety of residents, particularly in high-rise properties. They will apply to England only but new rules on construction products will apply nationally.

The recommendations of the Hackitt Review will be taken forward to:

* Provide clearer accountability throughout a building’s design construction and occupation. Noncompliance with the new regime will result in sanctions against the guilty parties.
* A stronger framework for national oversight of construction products to achieve higher standards.
* Landlords, developers, consultants and others with a duty to ensure the safety of new developments will be held to account if they fail to comply with the rigorous new safety standards.
* A new system overseeing the whole built environment to ensure improved building safety, with local enforcement agencies and regulators working together to ensure it.

The conclusions of the public enquiry into the disaster at Grenfell Tower are to be published on 30 October 2019.

Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said: “We must never see a tragic incident like the fire at Grenfell Tower happen again. That is why we are introducing the biggest reforms to the building safety regime in nearly 40 years.

“The current system will be overhauled and a new regulator with powers to enforce criminal sanctions will be at the heart of protecting residents.

“This new legislation will also give residents a stronger voice to ensure that their safety is the top priority of every building owner and developer.”

= National infrastructure strategy =

The Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Bill will aim to establish a long-term approach to improve the nation’s digital, transport and energy infrastructure, including fast, reliable and secure broadband networks.

= Environment Bill =

Protecting and improving the environment remains a government commitment. For the first time, environmental principles will be enshrined in law: The Environment Bill (referred to in the Queen’s speech and introduced on 15 October 2019) has been shaped by past public consultations.

The Bill places environment at the heart of government and includes:

* Meeting net-zero by 2050, including other targets on biodiversity, air quality, water and resource/waste efficiency.
* Improving air quality, with targets to reduce fine particulate matter PM2.5, address sources of air pollution, and local authorities to help cut pollution from domestic burning using cleaner fuels.
* Increase in sustainable water management.
* Restoring wildlife habitats.
* Tackling plastic pollution.

The Environment Bill only applies to England but over half of it is designed to apply across the UK through devolved administrations.

New legally-binding environmental improvement targets will also be introduced. Environmental policy and law are to be scrutinised by an independent regulator (the Office for Environmental Protection) which will also investigate complaints and take enforcement action.
