TQ142 Area definition of main bedroom v4.1 September 2021 EHC
Approved Ruling:
Bedrooms are calculated on the square footage area of flooring of the actual room to determine compliance for EHC-7 Natural Lighting. The Master bedroom is most often the largest room, however a room that has more adjoining facilities like ensuites and walk-in wardrobes would likely be treated as the master bedroom despite a smaller habitable floor area. In terms of achieving compliance, we accept the Master bedroom as the smaller room with adjoining facilities.
