What development costs here.
Richmond Upon Thames charges £409/m² residential CIL in its top zone — 10th of 30 London boroughs; a consent here carries 6.8 conditions on average (4th heaviest of 19) and takes 9 weeks to decide (25th slowest of 32). We hold 388 of its s106 agreements and 179 viability assessments — the deeds and the numbers, not a rate table.

90 of the 388 agreements on file carry a pound total we have read: median £15k, mean £134k, largest £7.3m, £12m 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 Richmond Upon Thames 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.
