Which rules apply in Chalfont Saint Peter?

Licence condition and schedule-of-works in Chalfont Saint Peter must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

  • Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
  • Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
  • Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
  • Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
