Building Safety Levy
A Building Safety Levy on new development to raise £3.4 billion is planned for Autumn 2026 with regulations published this year. Rates per square metre of floor space based on local house prices will be set per local authority area. There will be rates for previously and non-previously developed land (as defined in the NPPF), e.g. in RBK&C £50.17 and £100.35 respectively and in LB Enfield £22.06 and £44.13.
The Home Builders Federation (HBF) has sent a letter signed by over 100 housebuilders to Chancellor Rachel Reeves calling for a suspension of the Building Safety Levy. Developers will be considering the potentially significant financial implications of the levy for current and future development projects.
