Yes. Option C - developments of 11 or more requiring 25% M4 (2) housing and developments of 50 or more requiring 5% M4 (3). The research and evidence to support this policy is significant both at a local and national level.
It is not clear whether the adoption of optional Building Regulations standards is specific to affordable housing development or a blanket policy for all developments. It may be that different Building Regulations standards could be adopted specifically for affordable development on the basis of accessibility needs of those on the Councils housing register.
