+    """Total annual standing charge (£/yr) for worksheet (251) — the single
+    source of truth for how the heat-network and fuel-based standing charges
+    compose.
+
+    SAP 10.2 §C6 (PDF p.54-55) settles the composition, and phrases its two
+    cases deliberately differently:
+
+    - Space heating on a heat network → "the TOTAL standing charge IS the
+      normal heat network standing charge" — a REPLACEMENT. The dwelling's own
+      fuel standing does not apply on top (see
+      `_heat_network_standing_charge_gbp`).
+    - DHW-only heat network → "INCLUDE one-half of the normal heat network
+      standing charge IN the calculation of fuel costs unless the space heating
+      is also a heat network" — ADDITIVE. Only the full case is worded as a
+      total, so the half stacks on whatever Table 12 note (a) already charges
+      the dwelling for its own space-heating fuel (e.g. £24 off-peak electric
+      for a storage-heater main → £84).
+
+    The DHW-only half keys off the WATER heating code (950 / 951 / 952), not
+    the space main: the space main is by definition NOT a network on this
+    branch, so gating on it (as the £120 branch does) can never fire here.
