|August 20, 2025
HUNDREDS of high-rise buildings that need to be made fire-safe in Wales are still awaiting planning decisions.
The Welsh Government's latest update on its building safety programme, published in July, shows that of the 461 buildings in it, 43% have either been completed or have works ongoing on them.
It also shows 47% of the buildings are “in the planning stages’, with the remaining 10% either not requiring works or with remediation needs yet to be identified.
Jayne Bryant, Welsh cabinet secretary for housing and local government, said in the update that she met developers to discuss their progress and performance.
