No minimum height for rooms in the building regs?

Are you sure. So if I wanted to build an extension with a room with a four feet living height for the 7 dwarfs, i'd be allowed - don't think so.

Besides, whatever the building regs determine, it's up to the developer if he thinks expensive apartments with very low ceilings wouldn't sell and that's why it hasn't happened that way.
