Regulation 49A Reconfiguration of premisesF1
This regulation applies to a service provider—
who is registered to provide an accommodation-based service at a place specified as a condition to the service provider’s registration, and
to whom Part 13 did not apply in relation to that place during a period when the service involved the provision of accommodation to four or fewer individuals.
Subject to paragraph (3), where a service provider to whom this regulation applies has been granted a variation to their conditions of registration on or after 31 March 2024 as a result of the reconfiguration of premises used in relation to the place, and the effect of the variation is that accommodation can be provided at that place to five or more individuals, the service provider must comply with the requirements of regulations 50 to 54 in respect of that place.
The requirement to comply with regulations 50 and 51 in relation to that place only applies to any additional bedrooms for individuals.
In this regulation and regulation 49B—
“reconfiguration of premises” (“ailgyflunio mangre”) means rearranging or altering the existing physical layout of the premises to increase the number of individuals who can be accommodated at the service.
