Which rules apply in Weston-super-Mare?
EPC and energy upgrades in Weston-super-Mare 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:
- Rented homes must currently meet at least EPC E, with a £3,500 spending cap. The government plans EPC C by October 2030, subject to legislation.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
