Which rules apply in Llanelli?
Here is what usually applies to a Llanelli job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- More than 6 sharers is a sui generis HMO and needs planning permission; councils such as Cardiff apply concentration limits.
- 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.
