Cladding Safety Scheme

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has published updated guidance in relation to the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS).

The CSS is for buildings that are 11m+ outside London and 11-18m inside London. The Scheme provides funding for the remediation or mitigation of the fire safety risks linked to unsafe external wall systems on residential or mixed-use buildings where the responsible developer cannot be identified.

It is a requirement of the CSS that applications be supported by a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Wall construction (FRAEW) undertaken by an approved fire risk assessor. If you do not already have a FRAEW, when you apply, you will be provided with a contact list.
