2023 No 275 – Building and Buildings, England – The Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023
The purpose of the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023 is to specify descriptions of buildings to be included in the definition of “higher risk building” in the Building Act 1984 and to supplement that definition, as well as the definition of “higher-risk building” in the Building Safety Act 2022. Buildings defined as higher-risk buildings are included within the scope of the new more stringent regulatory regime for building safety, created by the 2022 Act.
