Cladding ban to cost £337m

摘要

The government's ban on combustible cladding on high-rise blocks will cost up to £337m over the next decade, official documents have forecast. The impact assessment on the combustible ban announced by communities secretary James Brokenshire has estimated the annual direct cost to developers and owners at between £249m and £337m over 10 years. The assessment has been drawn up by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to estimate the costs of different options available to ministers, including a 'do nothing' option.
