Building safety in Bournemouth

Bournemouth has a notable stock of seafront and town-centre residential towers along its cliff-top and central areas.

The local authority in Bournemouth is BCP Council (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole). For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not BCP Council (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole).

The remediation picture

As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works. Bournemouth sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
