I wonder how long it'll take the BR people to realise not being able to

What! Remove a Requirement! Are you MAD!!!

No, the proper way to go is to require that all surfaces in dwellings
up to 1100mm high are not climbable and have a hardness rating of
0.45[units] or less, as measured using an extremely complex formula
reproduced in secondary documentation to accompany Approved Document

The easy other way to vastly improve safety, as well as open up a
enormous housing resource for key workers would be to simply mandate a
ceiling height of 1100mm.
