Which rules apply in Golborne?

Professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Golborne 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.
Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
