The average household size, and in particular the number of children per household, tends to
differ significantly between houses and flats. There are situations where good design and
setting can make flats relatively more attractive to families with children but on average the
trend applies across the UK. As such a distinction should be made between houses and flats
and this should be incorporated into the Appendix.
Please find attached a response from the University of Cambridge to the Planning Obligations SPD consultation.

We note that the proposed Child Yield Multipliers are in excess of those adopted by CCC within its Planning Obligations Strategy (March 2016) across several age categories and dwelling sizes. It should be noted that the Education Evidence Review mechanism within the Waterbeach S106 agreement is underpinned by CCC’s detailed multiplier.
It is unclear how the multipliers set out within the SPD have been calculated and their applicability in the context of CCC’s role as the Education Authority.
In paragraph 11.9, there is ambiguity in the wording which states “(not school rolls)”, which needs to be clarified.
