Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

We support the Council's amendments in relation to Building Regulation standard M4(3) but object to the Council's requirement for 25% of homes to M4(2) complaint since this is not justified by the evidence, and hence not in accordance with national policy (NPPF paragraph 50 and PPG paragraph 006).

Suggested modification: The current requirement for 25% of new dwellings to be made Building Regulation standard M4(2) compliant should be discretionary rather than mandatory.
