If you are able to demonstrate a ventilation strategy will work on a given dwelling, then it certainly could be approved. There are 4 main types listed in Approved Doc F. What we get hung up on are the minimum levels, rather than the outcome

You cant mix ventilation strategies. So MVHR will be required to cover the whole property. And yes, dMEV will need trickle vents of a mechanical supply of air.

To add some context, this has occurred due to a complete lack of maintenance and the extract unit failed. Natural convection of warm air from the bathrooms below condensing inside the housing, creating this breading ground.

Building Safety Act + CDM 2015 are clear:
Poor ventilation = Category 1 hazard
Get it wrong:
• Criminal penalties
• Civil claims
• Director liability
Not just best practice. It's law.
