If you are a small developer you will be delighted to learn that last Friday the Government changed national planning practice guidance, setting out that Councils should no longer charge contributions for affordable housing or other tariff type charges (eg Public Open Space) on residential developments of 10 units or less (with a total of 1000sqm or less) nor on domestic extensions or residential annexes.
Smaller thresholds of 6-10 residential units apply in designated "rural areas" (National Parks/AONB).
If you got excited its England guidance only. Here in Wales there is no sign of Welsh Government taking any steps to lessen this type of burden.
