Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.

A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rowlands Gill. Having lived in Rowlands Gill for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
