SPF response to Scottish Building Safety Levy Stage 1 consultation

The Scottish Government is intending to bring forward a new levy on all new forms of residential development. The aim of this levy is to support the funding of the Cladding Remediation Programme, which addresses building safety concerns linked to unsafe cladding materials.

This consultation invites views from key stakeholders on various aspects of the levy such as the impacts on the market, the potential for unintended consequences, the types of exemptions and the penalty regime.
