The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) says around 750 applications have been started since it launched its building online register in April.
Under the Building Safety Act 2022, all high-rise residential buildings in England must be registered with the BSR. Buildings falling under the scope of the register are those at least 18 metres in height or which have seven or more floors containing at least two residential units.
The BSR is an independent body established by the Building Safety Bill. It sits within the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and reports to the secretary of state. BSR is responsible for ensuring that the estimated 12,500 existing higher-risk buildings in England are included in the register.
