Some flexibility in the residential standards should be in incorporated into the policy.
Some conversion schemes, for example, will need to adopt a different approach to a new build scheme in order to deliver a successful and viable development since fixed floor plate sizes, column locations and general configurations often impact on the layout that can be achieved.
Flexibility can aid the delivery of housing by helping to deliver a scheme that might otherwise be prevented by a policy that is too rigid in its application.

The new version of the proposed submission version contains references to "where viable and feasible" in the policies related to residential standards (DM8). This addition is supported in principle as it is considered particularly important in the context of the NPPF.
