Making livable houses / dwellings really isn't the problem, there's lots of clever low and high tech options, and smart, more eco-friendly methods of construction.
But finding affordable, suitable land, and getting planning permission to put dwellings on it, is a whole other issue.
A lot of land already owned by developers, a proportion of which already has pp to build, but the building is held back because market conditions aren't 'favourable' .
Developers seem to be able to find plots here and there in order to build a handful of 'Executive dwellings' though.
If the political will was there to change the planning rools such that a large number of smaller low cost dwellings need to be prioritised over 'Executive dwellings' this might skew things a bit.
The value of land is related to how much profit that can be extracted from it....
Seriously Fabbers .??
Please splain to me (who has been involved this for decades - including campaigning on matters planning ) how the value of land is related to development, and investment potential 🤔
