Which rules apply in Dudley?
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 Dudley before we price.
- 3–6 unrelated sharers is use class C4; changing from a family house is usually permitted development unless an Article 4 direction applies.
- Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
- 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.
