Part 5: Other provisions about safety standards, etc. Prohibition on development and building control Section 129: Building control prohibitions Proposed use of power
This power will enable the Government to impose a building safety prohibition on a person for any person connected with securing the safety of persons in or about buildings or improving the standards of buildings, including by securing the remedying of defects in buildings or contribution to costs associated with remedying defects in buildings. It may be used to support the above principle and ensure that the industry responsible for building unsafe buildings takes responsibility for remedying defects in buildings and contributes to costs associated with building remediation.
	The building control prohibitions, together with the prohibition on development detailed in section 128, may be imposed on persons who are eligible to join a building industry scheme but who do not join (because, for example, they do not meet or comply with the scheme membership conditions prescribed) and will encourage eligible persons to join and remain members of a scheme.
Example
The Secretary of State will have the authority to provide those local authorities (and approved inspectors/registered building control approvers) must refuse building control approval to person prescribed under this section.
For example, if a developer who is eligible to join a building industry scheme but is not a member applies for building control approval, by giving an initial notice or depositing plans for a development, this will not be granted where that developer has been prescribed by regulations made under this section.
Prescribed persons will also be prevented from obtaining a certificate of completion or final certificate for developments which have received other building control approval at earlier stages.
