Which rules apply in Coity?
The rules below are the Wales-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Coity before we price.
- 3–6 sharers is use class C4, and in Wales changing a house to C4 always needs planning permission; only C4 back to C3 is permitted development.
- 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.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
