Introduction. The 100 bedroom HMO.
This is a very ambitious project thought, designed and realised by Andreas Russo. This is an unused commercial building which will be redeveloped to accommodate a total of exceeding 100 rooms. The timeline for completion of this project are relatively long as this is 100% financed by Andreas Russo and his companies. Some bank loans may be required at a certain point but we will prioritize the final outcome in terms of quality accommodation at an affordable price. We will introduce several luxury features not yet available in the UK like Smart toilets, Jacuzzis and several other features.
The first stage is clearing the site and prepare very detailed drawings ready for planning application. While we wait for planning application, we will carry out whatever works we can under permitted development rights.
The scheme we are aiming at achieving is a final total area of 1300 square meters residential building. We will require internal Layouts, CGIs of the building including the new two storeys extension at the back. The CGIs have to be made within the context of the existing environment for planning application purposes.
What we need for the project.
1 internal drawings of the entire building in great detail, internal drawings for the best configuration of the internal layout of the entire 1000+ square meter building.We of course need detailed floor plans for the entire building including the new two storey extension.
2 Precise designs showing the positions of the new and old windows and their dimensions in the existing building
3 The loft conversion of the existing 2-story building, making it into effectively 3 Storey, will involve working around the steel frame constraints imposed by the steel supporting the existing roof. New Dormer windows have to be incorporated into the exising 2 storey building. The introduction of dormer windows will allow the loft space to be utilised to the maximum.
4 For the new rear extension of Total area 18×14 meters we need: Two storeys CGIs within the existing environment showing all the new windows. The new two storey extension needs to have a Flat roof or slightly double pitched of single pitched for a steel frame structure.
5.All possible entrances and fire escapes to and from the building have to be explored and implemented.
6 Exterior Computer Generated Imaging (CGI) of the finished entire building within its current environment, houses etc from most possible angles. CGI for the whole structure, existing main two storey building and new double storey extension. The CGI of the entire building need to be done in the context of the surrounding area including all existing buildings and houses, this is to show the planners the final result in context with the existing environment. Wee need arial views of the finished building within its existing environment.
7. Demonstrate that both existing windows and new windows are sufficiently large to provide natural light to all habitable rooms.
8. The street views of the exitsing building with the new extension and the new windows (including the Dormer windows ) within the contexts of the exising environment where possible.
9. The bird eye (arial views) views of the exising building with the new extension and the new windows (including the Dormer windows ) within the contexts of the exising environment incluciong exisiting houses and roads.
10. Detailed drwawings of the entire building including elevation drawings showing exact external measurements of the windows doors, roofs etc. This is needed for the construction phase.
11 the studies related to Class G and Class MA developmnet rights are optional but preferred. In relation to this you will see what is required later on in this document.
Basic Rules
1 all bedrooms must have sufficient natural light. Therefore, they must have a window which is large enough to let in enough natural light. To prove this you need to produce the necessary studies.
2 Kitchens do not need natural light, therefore they can be placed anywhere suitable in the internal structure of the building without windows. Minimum kitchen size 15 sqmeters
3 communal and en-suite bathrooms do not need windows, therefore for optimal design they have to be placed internally without windows.
4Minimum bedroom internal size 8sqm, excluding en-suite bathroom.
5 Each flat has Kitchen Diner and 7 bedrooms. 4 en-suite bedrooms and 3 with communal bathroom. Each apartment needs to have a minimum of 7 bedrooms.
6 Each floor needs to have a spare communal bathroom complete with shower. This spare bathroom need to be communal to all flats. This is in case there is a breakage of bathrooms inside the flat and an emergency communal bathroom is required.
7 Corridors should be internal to the building, this is because the windows are needed for the habitable rooms therefore all corridors do not need windows. We therefore think the corridors should be internal to the structure.
8 Staircases do not need windows which are nneded by the habitable rooms therefore we would place the staircases in the internal structure of the building where there are no windows.
Proposed Steps for Planning
The ones below are porposed only, you can follow your own way to work on this project.
1 Study all the information provided in videos and reports before commencing any work to avoid mistakes. We have a large amount of videos and reports which explain the present internal layout of the building. Download the Map here map.
2 Draw the external layout of the new 2-storey extension first. The roof should be flat and attached to the existing building
3 Draw the internal layout of the new 2-storey extension.
4Draw internal layout of the main two-storey building, including the loft area. This will make it into a 3-storey building. You have to include the existing windows in the drawings. For the exisiting windows you have to make sure thay are large enough to porvide enough natural light to the habitable rooms. Therefore if they are too smalln you have to enlarge them. If they are large enough we will keep the exising window opening as they are. to acccess the exising internal layout dimensions and constraint please click here. Also you will need all the new windows too. You will need to look at the loft measurements here.
5Plan all the entrances into the building and fire escape routes.
6 Make sure that all habitable bedrooms have adequate natural light. You will be using a software to demonstate with simulationn the adequate natural lighting of each habitable bedroom. The software will be provided. After you MUST demonstrate this with a natural light assessment ” that the development is compliant with the provision of “adequate” natural light to each habitable bedroom. You can find more information ont how to structure the studies required here.
7 Plan the staircases to connect the ground floor with the second floors.
About the existing internal Layout and constraints including extension.
You can consider the internal layout as blank canvas. There is nothing or almost nothing in the internal layout at the moment, so you can make internal arrangements the way you want. The only constraints are the existing windows and the pillars supporting the RSJs on the ground floor. You will be able to access the interanl measurements of pillars, extension and exising windows here.
Therefore in order to start the drawings it is mandatory for you to place the supporting pillars in the correct locations in the internal layout. Only this way you will be able to determine the correct placement for the new windows. You of course cannot place a window where an existing supperting pillar is located. Also we are trying to keep the window openings as they already are. If the existing windows allow for sufficient natural light then we will not alter them. Any window alteration not only requires ptanning permission but it is expensive therefore we will try to keep the windows as they are given that they provide sufficient natural light to the habitable rooms.
Windows of the existing building.
Once the best internal layout has been made, the extra windows can be placed in the existing building considering the contraints imposed by the existing internal pillars. We will alter the windows dimensions only when this is necessary due to the cost of altering the existing windows. Therefore, we will try to keep the existing windows unchanged if it is proven by the natural light studies that they provide enough natural light into the habitable rooms. Only in case they are not large enough, then we will need to enlarge the existing windows. The software package will show you whether the windows you design or the exisitng windows are large enough.
As for the new windows, they can be placed everywhere necessary in the existing building keeping in mind the contraints imposed by the internal pillars.When you place new windows, you will need to oversize them if possible without compromising the strength of the structure. The windows are required only for the habitable rooms, the kitchens and bathrooms do not require any windows. So Kitchens and bathrooms and corridors should be placed in the internal part of the building, while the habitable rooms need to have windows.
Loft conversion of the main two storey building.
The loft conversion of the main two storey building will provide a third floor with habitable rooms. For basic instructions on the loft conversion please visit this link Measurements for loft conversion.
We are also considering placing dormer windows in the roof space to allow extra habitable space in the loft area. In the UK habitable space is considered that which has a head height oveer 1.5 metres.
The internal and external measurements of the small front building.
There is a small building at the front. This will be made into a small house. All measurements you see on this link are internal only and these measurements are also underestimated so that if we need to alter something at implementation stage this will be easy later on. The thickness of the external walls can be assumed as 20 cm so you can add this measurement to the internal measurement to make out the footprint of thid small building that is going to be turned into a small house.
The internal and external measurements of the main existing two storey building.
All measurements you see on paper are internal only and these measurements are also underestimated so that if we need to alter something at implementation stage this will be easy later on. The thickness of the external walls can be assumed as 35 cm so you can add this measurement to the internal measurement.
For accurate measurements please refer to this link.
The new 2 storey extension
The news two storey extension can have windows wherever they are required and their dimension have to be large enough to comply with the natural light requirements for habitable rooms.
The video below provides a rough explanation of our intentions. The 8.5m x 28 meter two storey part of the main building will be made into three storey by converting le loft area to habitable. The loft area will become the second floor. It is advisable to place dormer windows to the loft conversion.
The following link provides a rough specification and drawings for the small front building.
The following link provides an overview and history of the site.

Overview of the insurance incident
Protected: 68a Harold Street Grimsby, DN32 7NQ Lawful use application
LAWFUL USE APPLICATION
The back extension, 18×14 Meters. What we are thinking is to erect a two Storey extension. This extension has to be of steel frame structure. Today this area is partly collapsed and partly not. This extension used to be only a single Storey. So we want a double Storey which will bring each Storey area to 250 quare meters in total 500 plus square meters.
There is also an existing two-storey building with ample loft space to be utilized, it is 28 meters long by 8 meters wide. The existing two-storey building has a loft space that needs to be used up. Therefore, you have to make allowances for a third floor on the main existing building and the loft area has to be used to the maximum.
Remember you need to make CGI of the entire building in context with the existing environment. To locate the site you need to use the address and if you want to have a map of the entire site please download this PDF Rear-Of-68-Harold-Street-Grimsby-North-East-Lincolnshire-DN32-7NQ
You need to study Class G and Class MA permitted development rights
The planning tools we are going to use are permitted developments Class G for the first floor and loft conversion (second Floor fo the main building)
Class MA for the ground floor.
For each class permitted development rights, you must produce each study required by law. We suggest you study this indepth and find the way to produce the relevant studies .
Class G requires
1 Contamination risk assessment which you will need to produce. This is a report which you will need to produce and you can finsd guidance on how to write it
For guidance on how to structure the risk assessment, see the government website guidance here.
2 Internal natural light assessment to prove this scheme provides sufficient natural light to the habitable rooms only. This is done by using a sowftware compliant with the latest BRE recomendations. The software we will be using is this
You need to read and understand the following example of internal daylight assessment to produce a similar report for this scheme. Bath Place internal Lighting assessment example
3 noise impact assessment of the development
Noise Impact Assessments must have regard to the following guidance where applicable to the development:
- BS8233 Sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings code of practice
Noise assessments for residential planning applications are generally formed under the guidance within British Standard 8233:2014: Sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings.
- Undertaking an initial noise risk assessment of the proposed development site;
- Liaising with the developers and architects to demonstrate a good acoustic design process;
- Observing internal noise level guidelines contained within BS8233:2014 or other relevant standards;
- Providing a suitable mitigation strategy to ensure that internal noise levels will meet the guidelines;
- Undertaking an assessment of the impact of noise on external amenity areas; and
- Consideration of any other relevant issues pertaining to noise around the site.
You can study the example below when drafting teh noise impact assessment.
