5.46 The cost of providing a primary school at the former DERA site would initially be met by<br />
the developer and SCC.<br />
5.47 When calculating the cost of the remainder of the listed proposals, the cost of primary<br />
places has been calculated in the following way. Department for Children, Schools and<br />
Families (DCSF) cost multipliers have been used to estimate the expected cost per<br />
pupil of typical school building projects for primary schools. These figures are<br />
commonly used by Local Authorities to estimate school building projects. In 2008/09<br />
the capital cost of a primary school place was £12,257. The figure is based on 2008/09<br />
prices and therefore needs to be index linked. Based on the Building Cost Information<br />
Service figures, the cost of general school building projects decreased by 8.6%<br />
between Q3 2008 and Q3 2011 (£/m2). A location factor of 1.12 is applicable to<br />
projects in Surrey to reflect the higher costs in the South East when compared to the<br />
national average.<br />
5.48 The following calculations therefore provide a cost per place for a primary school<br />
accurate from Q3 2011. SCC has not updated this calculation to present day to keep<br />
the assessment of costs consistent with those provided to other <strong>Borough</strong>s and Districts.<br />
It should be noted that the following per place calculation does not factor in the costs of<br />
land acquisition, site abnormalities or any other exceptional costs that might be<br />
incurred. However, it is deemed a reasonable benchmark for a typical primary school<br />
building project.<br />
£12,257 x 0.914 x 1.12 = £12,547 per primary place (£376,417 per class)<br />
5.49 Based on the above information, it is expected that the total cost of providing primary<br />
places to meet housing growth in <strong>Runnymede</strong> 2012 –2022 would be £10,163,259<br />
(£376,417 x 27).<br />
Risk Assessment<br />
5.50 Similar to EY risk, the main risk to this type of infrastructure is considered to be<br />
demand for places outpacing supply. As expansion plans at 4 of the <strong>Borough</strong>’s primary<br />
schools will take place within the next 5 years, and as a new primary school is to be<br />
provided at the former DERA site, it is considered that there is a low risk of this<br />
situation occurring.<br />

Unaccounted increase in demand for<br />

5.51 Overall there is considered to be sufficient infrastructure in the <strong>Borough</strong> (or planned<br />
infrastructure) to meet the increase in <strong>Borough</strong>’s population over the first delivery<br />
period of the Local <strong>Plan</strong>. The majority of the development at the former DERA<br />
development, which would, in all likelihood have the greatest impact on provision, is<br />
