No, the other way around. Typically in a mixed development the affordable stuff is bigger, better storage, better layout, lower spec finishes. Private sale is limited by what sells (so put an attractive kitchen unit in and a breakfast bar, but useless layout).

Ha. I hadn't realised this. How ridiculous.
That Tory housing guide is outrageous and depressing. Everything that's wrong with the British approach to architecture.
PASTICHE THE PAST BECAUSE THINGS WERE BETTER THEN!
Ugh.

No, the other way around.
I worked on projects where property developers (outside the affordable housing scheme which was also part of the development, either on site or not) HAD to comply with Lifetime Homes, among other criteria, and it was private... Is it only because the local council did give a shit on this instance? What's the tendency of councils, nationwide?
...and these instances, such guide (the one we're talking about and makes us puke) would not be able to bend the other standards...

You mean affordable housing doesn't have to comply with lifetime / London / whatever standards?
