Summary

This reports sets out the findings from a consultation exercise carried out on behalf of the department as a precursor to a full review of Part J of the Building Regulations. Stakeholders were asked for their views on the operation of the current AD J guidance and also on the areas they felt required attention. The report, entitled Review of Approved Document J - Backward and Forward Looks, presents a summary of the views expressed and draws out the main themes.

Broadly, the majority of stakeholders agreed that the existing guidance is working well, the concepts are valid and the method of delivery is understandable. Other than some specific issues, significant changes were not considered necessary and could be viewed as unhelpful.
