In my post dated 18th Nov at (g) I talked about developer profit margins. Apparently it's in the region of 35.5%
So given the hope value of land (see posts above) and how much such land increases in value should it be identified for development, imagine just how mightily miffed the landowners of land around Dawlish must have been when no land was identified for development in the emerging local plan!!
