That information refers to a points system which determines if someone is eligible for being re-housed. It's "overcrowding" and only one of a number of factors. It doesn't say it's illegal. It also doesn't cover the case of when I was at university and we rented this house where two blokes shared a bedroom (it was a big room with two beds in it). And they wasn't a gap of 16 years between their ages either (WTF is that about?)
Edit: so does the second one. Sure, I can agree that someone with two same-sex kids over the age of 16 has a social need for a bigger house, but surely it can't be
illegal for two adults to share a bedroom?
