Which rules apply in Halesowen?
Here is what usually applies to a Halesowen 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.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- 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.
