where they provide the following table:
Table 4.1 Indicative Levels of Standard Charge
Type of Charge Cost per dwelling £
Education 2,000 - 3,000
Primary Healthcare 1,000 - 3,000
Sport and Open Space 1,000 - 3,000
Public Transport 2,000 - 7,000
Affordable Housing (no subsidy at 33% target) 30,000 - 50,000
It does not include roads but still provides a range of £36K to £66K per dwelling. In this economic climate, will developers have problems in paying such levels of charges?
