Improvements to these bottlenecks at either end of the development will be extremely expensive. No details or costings are provided on how these will be overcome.

CLT1 Planning Obligations and Standard Charges - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 3361
Received: 01/12/2008
Respondent: Hockley Residents Association
No detail is given on Standard Charges but the government have laid out some indicative figures at:
http://www.communities.gov.uk/archived/publications/planningandbuilding/reformingplanningobligations
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?

In genera;, we (and probability virually everyone else) support retention of the greenbelt. However, the plans for distributing houses across the district, as a result of this policy) have to be viable in their own right. The absence of infrastructure makes the CS unsustainable.

We are concerned that the interpretation of sustainability has been insufficiently addressed and much is simply a wish list. We request that any proposal for a specific site be accompanied by a clear and unequivocal statement of the results of the test of sustainability and that only developments where the assessment shows a clear positive result in respect of sustainability are approved. Furthermore we would request that each site is tested against the sustainability test developed for a 'new' settlement to allow a fair comparison of advantages and disadvantages.
