Section 106 is the developer contributions to local infrastructre, schools, play area, etc

So if a developer builds, lets say, 1000 homes containing 1000 children, do they have to build a school?

not that simple david, a local authority would take each development seperately and judge what is right for the area.
westmount is currently going through development talks, in my view pressure should be mounted for 106 money to allocated to a play area.

There is an extant planning permission for this site, but as Howard has said, there is a new planning application being worked on.
There is section 106 money allocated for this, but sometimes I feel that the costs the developer has to pay, are too high; every one needs to make a profit and developers are no different, but sometimes, the associated costs are just too much. Profit is not a dirty word, it's a motivator.

The building companies get big profit from the trash they build today
Go have a look at the building company's accounts
I see the racist card being played again by them seeking to squash truthful debate

Maybe in some areas, but probably not as much with the price of Dover houses....

Anyway I can put all the streams of Alexander's threads together......
- Get people to vote UKIP into government
- Get them to change policy on port tolls
- The income from the tolls for british vehicles bringing in goods from abroad and 'us' still being allowed to travel freely will create a regeneration fund
- The fund will actually be used to re-fortify the Western Heights to keep the damn foreigners out and defend our shores !!
- As we won't let the foreigners in there will be no need for extra houses to be built in Farthingloe and the Heights
All sounds a bit British Empire/19th Century !!!!!

Paul, we can't afford to accommodate mass immigration.
Today the Government has officially stated it does not want the Bulgarians and Romanians coming over in 2014 looking for work in the UK and is considering discouraging them from doing so by making clear that we do not want them to come here because we have enough woes and enough immigrants as it is.
Just Google sky News and you'll see the article.
It clearly says that more and more immigrants put our housing situation in a very problematic position.
Surely the Government is not racist!

I'd welcome anyone from abroad if they do the jobs here that people can't be ars*d to do and pay their taxes and benefit the economy !!

paul
Are we not talking about housing expansions in the Dover Area
Not Foreigners Or ukip immigration policy's ??
But if you like start a thread on Foreigners and I will be happy to debate this with you
Do you have any thing to say about the jobs these new comers moving in to these houses will need?

Brian, immigration requires house-building in any and every country in the world.
You are possibly the only person in the world to affirm the contrary.

and i cant see an eastern european forking out 90,000£ or more for a new house.

If there aren't jobs then people won't be buying the house, and if people aren't buying the house they won't build more houses?
Even with a population lower than it was pre-WW2, there are more houses as since then everyone wants their own house with a garden rather than several generations or even several famillies crammed into small houses and slums

alex,your last sentance,there are many of us who have the same views.care to join the the club.

Paul, while you may be right there, however, many people can't afford a house with a garden.
But either way, here in Dover, we simply would be out of this world if we did not take into account the impact of immigration in relation to house-building.
We do have immigration on a large scale in Dover, and it does require housing.
