Building safety in Leeds

Leeds has a growing cluster of city-centre residential towers around the South Bank regeneration and the river, alongside older high-rise estates.

The local authority in Leeds is Leeds City Council. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not Leeds City Council.

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. Leeds sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
