What development costs here.
Bexley charges £91/m² residential CIL in its top zone — 30th of 30 London boroughs; a consent here carries 11.2 conditions on average and takes 9 weeks to decide (21st slowest of 32). We hold 31 of its s106 agreements and 40 viability assessments — the deeds and the numbers, not a rate table.
- CIL: highest Kensington And Chelsea £1,132/m², lowest Bexley £91/m² · Bexley £91/m².
- Conditions: heaviest Hillingdon 7.9, lightest Westminster 3.3 per consent · Bexley 11.2.
- Decision time: slowest Camden 15 wks, fastest Barking And Dagenham 8 wks · Bexley 9 wks.
- s106 per agreement (deeds read so far, ≥10 per borough): highest Croydon £700k median, lowest Kingston Upon Thames £950.

Most common conditions: approved drawings (103) · highways parking (101) · drainage flood (96) · other (85) · landscaping trees (73) · materials (54).
2 of the 31 agreements on file carry a pound total we have read: median £636k, mean £636k, largest £1.3m, £1.3m in total. Small undertakings dominate the median; the extraction is still running, so treat these as from the deeds read, not the borough total.
Scheme size is the unit count parsed from the proposal; agreements without one are left out here.
Every obligation in the Bexley agreements we have read, grouped by what it is for — the money by type where a sum is stated, and how often each type appears at all (most obligations are unpriced: build this, provide that).

These carry no sum in the deed but cost time, design and management to deliver — the hidden cost of consent here.
Approved schemes since 2015 with a unit count in the proposal; “with s106” means we hold the agreement — a floor, not the council's full count. Smallest scheme here with an agreement on file: 44 units.
Share of approved 10+ unit schemes with an agreement on file (boroughs with 100+ deeds held) — highest Croydon 83%, lowest Kingston Upon Thames 30% · Bexley 22%. On small schemes (1–9 units) agreements are rare everywhere except where a small-sites tariff applies: Lambeth 56%, Hackney 54%, Kensington And Chelsea 48%, Camden 44%.
Policy thresholds differ too — most boroughs seek affordable housing from 10 units (national threshold), some (Islington) charge a small-sites contribution from the first unit; the deed rate above is what actually happens, not what the policy says.
