Which rules apply in Llandudno?
Large HMO conversions (7+ sharers) in Llandudno must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Mandatory licence for HMOs with 3 or more storeys and 5 or more people in 2 or more households; Wales did not adopt England’s 2018 change.
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- 3–6 sharers is use class C4, and in Wales changing a house to C4 always needs planning permission; only C4 back to C3 is permitted development.
