Scottish Building Regulations: Fire Safety review and Compliance: Call for Evidence

Closes 10 Apr 2026

Compliance - Legislation

The Scottish Government’s response to the final Grenfell Inquiry Report included a commitment to consult further on legislation required to introduce the role of a Compliance Plan Manager into the building standards system.  We have also committed to introduce the Compliance Plan Approach (CPA) at an earlier stage as a guidance based non-statutory approach. Guidance for verifiers and industry is being published in coming months.

The Scottish Government’s view is that to provide the safety and sustainability of HRBs that legislative change is required.  

16. Do you agree that legislation is required to give full effect to the Compliance Plan Approach and role of the Compliance Plan Manager for High Risk Buildings?
