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 Cleethorpes, a town of about 39,000 people in Lincolnshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.
