Which rules apply in Porthcawl?
Fire doors in Porthcawl 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:
- 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.
- Mandatory licence for HMOs with 3 or more storeys and 5 or more people in 2 or more households; Wales did not adopt England’s 2018 change.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
