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!!

Just to point out that as much as I would like to think that the land west of Teignmouth Road (that's the three fields inland opposite The Smugglers pub) is now saved from being developed that is not necessarily the case. When the Local Plan is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate sometime next year the examiner can rule, if they think it appropriate vis-a-vis national planning and housing ...
