Deferred
BSR's excessively long M4(2) consultation timeline delays implementation until spring 2025 at earliest.
Conclusion
The Building Safety Regulator’s (BSR) timeline to run a full technical consultation process for six months, starting on an undecided date between May and July 2024, would make it unlikely that the M4(2) baseline policy could be implemented until spring 2025, at the earliest. This is an excessively long timeline considering the sector’s demand for certainty and the evidence that there is likely to be widespread consensus among responses.

Government response summary AI-generated
The government deflects from the recommendation concerning the excessively long timeline for the M4(2) technical consultation, instead focusing on the Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database being developed under the Renters’ Rights Bill to provide accessibility information for tenants.
