Which rules apply in Aylesbury?

The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Aylesbury before we price.

  • 7 or more sharers is a sui generis large HMO and normally needs planning permission.
  • A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
  • 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.
  • Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
