What development costs here.
Hackney charges £287/m² residential CIL in its top zone — 18th of 30 London boroughs; a consent here carries 4.1 conditions on average (16th heaviest of 19) and takes 11 weeks to decide (6th slowest of 32). We hold 271 of its s106 agreements and 106 viability assessments — the deeds and the numbers, not a rate table.
- CIL: highest Kensington And Chelsea £1,132/m², lowest Bexley £91/m² · Hackney £287/m².
- Conditions: heaviest Hillingdon 7.9, lightest Westminster 3.3 per consent · Hackney 4.1.
- Decision time: slowest Camden 15 wks, fastest Barking And Dagenham 8 wks · Hackney 11 wks.
- s106 per agreement (deeds read so far, ≥10 per borough): highest Croydon £700k median, lowest Kingston Upon Thames £950 · Hackney £27k (177 read).

Most common conditions: approved drawings (1,542) · time limit (1,375) · materials (887) · drainage flood (457) · ecology (305) · other (303).
177 of the 271 agreements on file carry a pound total we have read: median £27k, mean £175k, largest £3.3m, £31m 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 Hackney 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: 1 unit.
Share of approved 10+ unit schemes with an agreement on file (boroughs with 100+ deeds held) — highest Croydon 83%, lowest Kingston Upon Thames 30%. 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.
Every s106 agreement we hold for Hackney, newest first, linked to its application (the document itself is on the application page). “Unread” = on file, terms not yet extracted.
