●Inquiry recommendation, Chapter 8, Recommendations for existing tall blocks, item (29)
All blocks over six storeys in height should be appraised by a structural engineer who should consider: (a) whether they are susceptible to progressive collapse (paragraph 191); (b) whether they have been designed to resist adequately the maximum wind loadings which they may experience (paragraph 214); (c) their behaviour in the event of fire (paragraph 216).

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
