New searchThe housing plan should take into account, local housing needs survey data. Where no data exists, surveys should be undertaken prior to approving planning in smaller settlements. It is particularly true of villages that land prices are higher since property values are higher. However, limiting developments so that smaller, low cost houses are placed in more spacious plots reduces the revenue that can be achieved from a particular plot which then affects the land price. Placing a covenant on these developments to prevent significant enlargement planning permissions later then keeps these properties smaller and more affordable in perpetuity. The price of building land is very much a function of how much revenue developers can generate so it is a fallacy to say that they must build larger homes to justify the price of the land. Planning in villages should encourage low cost homes so that young people can remain in the communities they grew up in or move to villages keeping the communities alive with new children. They should also supply and maintain small low cost homes suitable for retirement properties.
