The BSR has published its strategic plan setting out the five priorities that will guide its work over the next 12 months, including improving operations, supporting remediation of unsafe cladding, ensuring safe construction and smooth Gateway Three approvals, keeping building standards under review, and improving professional standards.

The guidance published by the BSR on Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) has been revised to use the term ‘safety occurrence’, rather than ‘mandatory occurrence’. The MOR system that will be implemented during the construction phase must be included in the application for Building Control Approval submitted at Gateway Two.
