Which rules apply in Aberdare?
Here is what usually applies to a Aberdare job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- More than 6 sharers is a sui generis HMO and needs planning permission; councils such as Cardiff apply concentration limits.
- 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.
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
