Which rules apply in Kingswood?

Professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Kingswood must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
