Your child would be expected to share a room with their sibling. There is no law against siblings sharing a room.

If you think it will be too crowded then don't have the next child until you are able to move.

Yeah you may not be rehoused until you have a third child tbh. A friend of mine has a small 2 bed new-build council house - that she and her DH got after they were housed by the council with their baby 4.5 years ago. (They had one girl - now aged 5.)

They had another baby (girl) 2 years back, and her landlord told her the girls can share til forever. They are stuck in a small 2-bed now with 2 growing girls (sharing a room) and fuck-all storage and little space.
