DCLG issues statement on New Part G.

Tracy Cull, Head of Building Control System Policy at DCLG this week issued a statement to confirm that the New Part G will indeed come into force on the 6th April 2010 despite the fact that the rewording has yet to be resolved with Ministers’ sign off. They therefore acknowledge that there is to be a very short timescale between the publication and the implementation of Part G.

Please remember there are transitional arrangements which permit the use of the current Part G provided the Initial notice has been served and a plan certificate has been issued to cover these elements of works. The works must also commence within 12 months to adopt the current guidance.

Clearly this is unfortunate however the transitional arrangements offer some breathing space if developers act now!
