    Given that you're all living in a council property I'd be pretty sure that the council would not be allowed to contravene the The Housing Act 1985

    One of the criteria used by UKVI for accommodation is overcrowding based on the housing act mentioned above.

    The act does not allow 2 people 10 years old or more of opposite sexes, (not including those together as husband and wife), sleeping together in the same room.

    Also, under the housing act, there is a limit on just how many people can be allowed to be sleeping in the accommodation.

    For two rooms (bedroom and a living room) the maximum number of people is three (3)
    It's not allowed to include sleeping in kitchens/bathrooms etc

    Do also note that:-
    - a child under 1 does not count as a person.
    - a child aged 1-10 years counts as only half a person.

    Look like you're OK according to law.

    I doubt UKVI will cause an issue, but be aware that the housing act is just one part of what UKVI considers as 'adequate accommodation'

    Personally I think your application will be OK but it would be wise to include somewhere that you are currently on the council waiting list.

    Hope this will ease your concern and good luck with the application
