Comment on Angela Rayner hit with legal challenge over datacentre on green belt land
bungalowtill@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoI’ve been hearing building homes in the UK isn’t held back so much by regulation but by developers sitting on already approved land speculating with it rather than building on it.

I think it’s both. For example if you personally bought a piece of agricultural land and applied for planning to build a home on it yourself, you’d almost certainly be rejected.
Despite what you might hear there is still plenty of space though: Buildings cover less of Britain than the land revealed when the tide goes out.
People just doesn’t want any of you to have somewhere to live on it.
