  • Conditions: heaviest Hillingdon 7.9, lightest Westminster 3.3 per consent · Waltham Forest 4.

What s106 costs here · from the deeds read so far

None of the 140 agreements on file has been read for a pound total yet — the extraction queue reaches Waltham Forest next.

By scheme size · median s106 total

Not enough read deeds with a stated unit count yet.

Scheme size is the unit count parsed from the proposal; agreements without one are left out here.

What the deeds obligate here · 2 agreements read

Every obligation in the Waltham Forest 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).

    How often each obligation appears · Waltham Forest vs London

    100% · London 28%most: Tower 62%
    Car club / permit-free
    100% · London 27%most: Ealing 53%
    Monitoring & legal fees
    50% · London 47%most: Merton 82%

    Red tick = London share across every deed read (2,311).

        Council monitoring costs at Owner's expense for compliance verification

      These carry no sum in the deed but cost time, design and management to deliver — the hidden cost of consent here.

      When does an agreement start? · share of approved schemes with an s106 on file, by size

      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: 2 units.

      150+ units
      Does it vary by borough? · yes

      Share of approved 10+ unit schemes with an agreement on file (boroughs with 100+ deeds held) — highest Croydon 83%, lowest Kingston Upon Thames 30% · Waltham Forest 48%. 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.
