HMO layout reconfiguration changes the internal plan of a shared house so the rooms, kitchens and bathrooms work together: moving or adding walls, splitting oversized rooms, merging undersized ones, or moving the kitchen off the escape route. In Llandudno, a town of about 15,000 people in Conwy, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards.

- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
