The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 20 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per statutory credit tier per habitat type with its price and the date it took effect, beside the register and allocation fees, kept as a SERIES across the six-monthly reviews so the table can say what a unit cost a year ago and what the announced change is - which the guidance itself does not keep, because each revision replaces the last. Joined to the survey price index, it gives the only number the buyer actually plans against: the total ecology cost of a planning application, survey plus units.", "embed": "
