Space Standards guidance

Do you know of any recent examples of Dwelling Space Standards guidance? We have just started to prepare one for Worthing Borough Council and it would be good to have a look at some recent examples.

Thanks. I'm aware of the London and Mid-Sussex guidance.

Re: Space Standards guidance

We have just completed a final consultation on an SPD giving guidance, including space standards, for the conversion of properties for residential use. This has been written with a view to the particular problem of guest house oversupply leading to HMO's and consequent unsustainable social issues. The document can be found here: http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/1D8F9291-D81D-48E3-8462-8FC861191B9B/0/NewHomesFromOldPlacesDraftSPDFinal21052010.pdf
