Room sizes, amenities and property standards

  • A [0.5] person is classed as a child of the ages of 1-10 years; after the age of 10 the child becomes [1] person in the calculation.

  • Babies count as zero [0] and can share with their parents if under 1 year old. After this they require their own sleeping room.

  • Children of opposite sex can only share a bedroom up to the age of 10 years old.

  • Children cannot share a bedroom with an adult apart from the biological Mother or Father.

  • Siblings aged over 10 years cannot share a bedroom with another of the opposite sex who is under 10 years old.

 

The room standard is as follows:

  • Number of sleeping rooms = 1 then number of persons = 2

  • Number of sleeping rooms = 2 then number of persons = 3

  • Number of sleeping rooms = 3 then number of persons = 5

  • Number of sleeping rooms = 4 then number of persons = 7.5

  • Number of sleeping rooms = 5 or more then number of persons = 10 plus 2 for each additional room

In addition to the above, the following basic standards apply:

  • There must be at least one toilet and wash hand basin for every five inhabitants.

  • There must be a fully functional kitchen (e.g. stoves, oven and hot and cold running water into a sink) that can support both the current and proposed number of occupants.

  • There must be a fixed heating system in the property (e.g. heating in every habitable room).

  • The property must be in a good state of repair with no serious defects (e.g. electrics, plumbing, roof, gutters, doors, windows etc.).
