Hi, Scenario: Well-maintained private road in an affluent suburb in a commuter town in south-east England; The road owners are organised and present; Existing deeds / covenants between the road owners & homeowners include provision for a) homeowners have full access rights & liberty over the road incl. vehicles and services laying / maintenance; b) right for road owners to charge a reasonable levy for development or building works; Several infill detached houses have been built already on various plots on the road, and each have been granted right of access similar to the other houses. Does anyone have any idea what a private road owner may charge for: 1. Levy for development work where an existing house is demolished and two new ones are to be built. Bearing in mind it is required to be "reasonable". 2. Grant of access for one additional infill house. I know, I know, it's like saying "how long is a piece of string?", but I have no idea whether this is likely to be closer to £1,000 or £100,000? I'm thinking to budget £50k and hope for £10k - thoughts? I guess it'll have to be reasonable, right? And I might have to end up bringing in valuers and potentially going to a tribunal if we can't agree a figure? I'm taking some comfort from the fact that there have already been several infill dwellings built, so clearly the cost hasn't been prohibitive for them.
