On 1^st October the Building Safety Act comes into force – you may well have received various pieces correspondence from HML about this since the beginning of the year

By virtue of being over 18m high Regatta Point is designated a Higher-Risk Building (HRB) under the Act and must therefore be registered with the Building Safety Regulator. After 30^th September it will be an offence to allow an HRB to be occupied if it is not registered.

We started the registration process some months ago. This is to inform you that as part of this process a Fire Risk Assessment of the external walls of the building is being carried out on 16^th & 17^th August, which will involve drilling small holes in the walls at various locations. The Assessors will need to access to a representative number of flats (3 in each block) and balconies to carry out their work, which we will arrange individually in the coming week.
