Osborne to offer developers “incentives” to build on “brownfield” land

Er, couldn’t he just use the law. Why offer carrots when what may be needed is big stick?

Developer: should I build on a brownfield site and sell my houses for £250,000 each and take 3 months per home to sell them or should I build on greenfield or AONB and sell them for £500,000 each and sell them immediately?

If the “incentive ” is less than £250,000 per house in those circumstances, why bother?

  1. I notice that those protesting about the destruction of the Green Belt in Mr Osborne’s constituency (Tatton) are putting up an Independent candidate in every single ward for the District Council elections.
