I am not sure what a true live work unit looks like......in reality are they a house with a study, rather than a flat/house with a proper workshop.?
I have had an application for a barn conversion for residential with large home office/meeting room which the applicants originally did not include in the CIL calculations. We charge for residential, but not for B uses such as offices. My view was that unless the office/meeting room was a separate unit, so that it could be independently occupied, it was all effectively residential floorspace, similar to a study in a dwelling that one occupier might use as a study and another as a family room. The applicants have not challenged this (yet).
