The Building Safety (Regulator's Charges) Regulations 2023

The Building Safety (Regulator's Charges) Regulations 2023. These regulations, made under the Building Safety Act 2022, set out the framework for how the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) can charge for its functions. This includes charging for activities related to the new building control regime for higher-risk buildings, such as reviewing Gateway applications, and for the registration of all occupied higher-risk buildings. The regulations specify who is liable to pay the charges and the principles the BSR must follow when setting its charging schemes. This legislation is crucial for funding the BSR's operations and ensuring it has the resources to carry out its new, enhanced regulatory role. This page provides a structured summary, key provisions, and practical guidance on the application of BSR Chargeable Functions Regs 2023 to UK fire safety engineering, building design, and Building Safety Act compliance.
