Actually I did check up about that with the council, as we are a polyamorous group and do consider ourselves to be intentional family, and as such a single household. Apparently changes in the law as of 2004 preclude us being able to say so for more than two people, which I'm not too happy about. (Although the law does also say that we are able to consider live-in household staff as members of our household. Now that's a thought...)
E's suggestion was to make a DVD to take in to the council offices. "Yes, we're all in sexual relationships with each other, here's video evidence. NOW will you consider us a household?"
Also considering changing all of our last names to 'of Joy' by deed poll to imply that we're a family without actually having to give false information.
We can't afford separate apartments for all of us though, sadly it completely defeats the purpose of house sharing. :(
