Part 3: Building Act 1984 Building control approvers and building inspectors Section 47: Higher-risk building work: public bodies Effect
This section amends the Building Act 1984 by inserting a new section 54A into the Act. Section 54A gives the Secretary of State the power to make regulations amending sections 5, 54 and Schedule 4 to the Act in relation to higher-risk buildings. This power would enable the Secretary of State to create a modified higher-risk buildings regime for public bodies, for example, prevent a public body from submitting a public body notice (a notice given to the local authority to supervise their own building work instead of the local authority) for higher-risk building work.
