Which rules apply in Huntingdon?
Here is what usually applies to a Huntingdon job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Where the building regulations apply to a conversion, Part E sound requirements can apply between rooms and floors.
- Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
