Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many individual domestic properties have been identified as having a sleeping risk, in relation to any risk assessment.


Answer

We have not identified buildings with a specific sleeping risk, however buildings on the pilot are residential.

The Single Building Assessment (SBA) must result in a report on any risk to human life that is (directly or indirectly) created or exacerbated by the building’s external wall cladding system and what work (if any) is needed to eliminate or mitigate that risk.

There are 107 entries in the pilot phase of the Cladding Remediation Programme. Entries in the pilot can comprise a single block or building, or a development, or part of a development consisting of multiple blocks or buildings. Pilot assessments have been undertaken for 30 of the pilot entries. A pilot assessment includes any assessment carried out prior to the publication of the SBA specification on the 21 June 2024.

These numbers relate to known pilot assessments only as developers, home owners or other organisations could have commissioned assessments without informing the Scottish Government and therefore the true numbers may be higher and could increase as further information becomes available
