The Remediation Acceleration Plan (RAP), published on 2nd December 2024, set out the government's plans to accelerate the remediation of residential buildings with unsafe cladding in England and improve resident experience.
As part of that plan, the government committed to publishing an update to report on progress and outline additional measures to support the delivery of its key objectives.
This update outlines the progress already made against these objectives and sets out a range of additional measures to fix buildings faster, identify those 11m+ buildings still at risk and ensure that residents are supported in the process.

The government has published a joint plan with the social housing sector to accelerate cladding remediation across England. It includes details of proposed legislation as part of the second phase of the Remediation Acceleration Plan.
The planned legislation - which will be brought forward as soon as parliamentary timetable allows - will require landlords of buildings 18m or more in height with unsafe cladding to complete remediation by the end of 2029, and landlords of buildings 11-18m in height to complete remediation by the end of 2031.
At the heart of the joint plan on social housing remediation is a commitment by government to invest over £1 billion to give social landlords equal access to government funding schemes as private building owners.
