Which rules apply in Colwyn Bay?
Ensuite installation in Colwyn Bay must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Building regulations cover structural work, partitions, drainage, fire-resisting construction and electrics; confirm with building control whether the conversion is a material change of use.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
