Which rules apply in Royal Leamington Spa?
Here is what usually applies to a Royal Leamington Spa job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 7 or more sharers is a sui generis large HMO and normally needs planning permission.
- Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
