Joint plan to accelerate developer-led remediation and improve resident experience
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

Developers and government have committed to working together to accelerate developer-led remediation and improve resident experience.

Our joint plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/joint-plan-to-accelerate-developer-led-remediation-and-improve-resident-experience/joint-plan-to-accelerate-developer-led-remediation-and-improve-resident-experience) for achieving this was published on 2 December 2024, alongside the government’s separate, wider Remediation Acceleration Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accelerating-remediation-a-plan-for-increasing-the-pace-of-remediation-of-buildings-with-unsafe-cladding-in-england) to accelerate the pace of cladding remediation for buildings in England.

Under the joint plan, government and developers commit to work together to accelerate progress on developer-led remediation, so that residents feel safe in their homes again sooner and experience less disruption before, during and after remedial works.

The joint plan includes 39 commitments by developers and government that will help us to achieve 6 shared objectives:
- improve resident experience of remedial works
- accelerate work to find all unsafe buildings requiring remedial works
- Improve quality of assessments used to determine whether buildings require remedial works
- accelerate work to fix buildings
- accelerate resolution of cost-recovery negotiations between developers and social housing providers
- establish a developer-Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government working group to unblock remaining barriers to remediation
Under the joint plan, developers commit to making every effort to achieve several stretch targets:
- finish assessing all their buildings by the end of July 2025
- start or complete remedial works on 80% of their buildings by the end of July 2026
- start or complete remedial works on all their buildings by the end of July 2027
- resolve all current cost-recovery negotiations with social housing providers by the end of July 2025
To support developers to accelerate remediation and improve resident experience, MHCLG has worked with developers, Responsible Entities and resident groups to develop resources to overcome known pain points and barriers to remediation:
- Guidance for Responsible Entities (http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-responsible-entities-developer-remediation-contract) to address common misconceptions about the Developer Remediation Contract (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/developer-remediation-contract) in order to reduce the likelihood of disputes between Responsible Entities and developers.
- Dispute resolution guidance (http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/developer-remediation-contract-dispute-resolution-guidance-and-mediation-agreement) for developers and Responsible Entities offers parties an off-the-shelf way to resolve disputes that have arisen (especially pre-works) without having to go to court.
- A Template access agreement (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/template-access-agreement-for-buildings-covered-by-the-developer-remediation-contract) and guidance that developers and Responsible Entities can use more quickly to agree terms under which the Responsible Entity will grant the developer access to the building.
Government invited all signatories of the developer remediation contract (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/developer-remediation-contract) to sign up to the joint plan. The joint plan is separate from and does not change the developer remediation contract (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/developer-remediation-contract) signed by 53 developers and government. All the obligations in the developer remediation contract and all the membership conditions of the Responsible Actors Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/responsible-actors-scheme) continue to apply and are entirely unaffected by the commitments in the joint plan.
