The extent of the review is large so there are potentially stages to this work. Therefore, it is no surprise that government at the same time announced that it is prioritising the issues affecting high-rise residential buildings.  This saw the launch of the consultation Thursday 5th September 2019 on the inclusion of sprinklers and other safety measures for these building types.
