DAC Beachcroft hosting panel discussion on Building Safety Act consultation Webinar The Building Safety Act 2022 (“BSA”) has been described as a “generational” piece of legislation that will fundamentally reform the way in which the built environment sector operates in England. Although it was granted royal assent on 28 April 2022, most of the regime under the BSA does not yet have full effect. In particular, the reforms to the Building Act 1984 affecting the design and construction of buildings (especially, “higher-risk buildings”) contained within Part 3 of the BSA depend on secondary legislation being passed. On 20 July, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announced the launch of a consultation that will give industry stakeholders the opportunity to feedback on the proposed changes.
