First tier tribunal decision on roof gardens
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and BSR are reviewing First Tier Tribunal on classification of roof gardens in higher-risk buildings.
BSR said views expressed by the Tribunal may have created some uncertainty within the sector. However, the Tribunal itself acknowledged that it was not within its jurisdiction to formally determine whether the building being considered was higher risk.
BSR also said that in the meantime, sector and regulatory bodies should continue to refer to existing government guidance.
