Which rules apply in Worksop?
Escape routes, emergency lighting and fire stopping in Worksop 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:
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
