Local authorities have extensive powers of inspection and enforcement under current legislation and have used such powers on a number of occasions including the recent high profile case at Priory Hall. Problems at a number of developments are already in the public domain, and I have urged local authorities to continue to use all of the powers currently available to them to address issues of building standards compliance, including in relation to fire safety.
