Over 200 buildings have no plan in place to replace problem cladding

There are no plans to replace combustible cladding on almost three quarters of private sector tower blocks, according to the latest government data.

In its latest monthly Building Safety Data release, the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government revealed the number of private residential buildings with ACM cladding systems which are unlikely to meet current building regulations guidance had risen to 301 from 297 in June.

Of these 147 had failed BRE tests, while 154 were identified by local authorities as having similar ACM cladding systems to those which have failed large-scale tests.
