See below an extract from an article in the i newspaper a few days back. “.......(housing) supply in the UK is in the hands of private developers who have very little incentive to build out at a rate commensurate with (housing) demand because this would lower market prices. Developers hoard land and wait for it to increase in value before building on it. When they do build, it’s not in ...
Nothing ever changes on this site. There is always one that has to bemoan everyone else. No wonder there is so little traffic on this site anymore. What was once a great site has been relegated to a few who brave the waters and then comes along the nasty shark to have a chomp!
@Teignpot : Yes - for clarity. It was in 2018 thatTeignbridge District Council asked for land to be submitted to them for consideration for development.

It also might be that, for example, buildings may be in place on a piece of land but that they ...

The first thing that needs to happen is for local councils/local authorities to actually do a decent appreciation of the land that they designate for each purpose (and therefore accurately reflect in the 'Local Plan'). I know of several parcels of land that have been designated for wildlife, coastal protection (some nowhere near the coast) etc where buildings have been in place since the 1950s ...
In addition to the wholesale destruction of farm land most of it grade 1 there will be the unrelenting pressure to build a by pass around Starcross and Kenton taking away yet more farmland and in the process possibly releasing yet more land for housing development. I also think it is about time that the goverment put into law that councils can set by law the percentage of affordable for each and ...
