Indeed it you consider how council houses used to be built, and were then
sold, this very same form of speculation is what subsidised local taxes
back in Thatcher's time.

Maybe UK farmers need to form housing associations to build lots of houses,
initially to be let to low income households, then.....

What with green belts, National Parks, areas of restraint, areas of ONB
and best landscape, planning is not for the faint hearted.

I think it is section 23 of the advice to planners that encourages
consent for low cost housing in areas where development would be
resisted normally. At the point you consider this, some Weasel mouthed
(sorry David) agent says *why not wait for the envelope to grow*.
