Within a 3 mile radius from me planning permission has been granted for two large developments amounting to 5000 homes we will see how long they take to build and what effect they will have on local prices. The timescale is 25 years so I may not be around to report.
I guess the demand for the house will depends upon where you live: in Hull it may take some time : in Westminster somewhat more quickly.EU tariff on agricultual product 12.2%

There is a huge new development near me that has had planning permission for almost a decade, we're talking thousands of houses.
Why was it delayed for so long if the problem was the planning system? They had planning permission. The reason it didn't start was because the big builders don't have the money and don't want to take risks as much as they used to. The government (national) had to come in with extra funding for this project to 'kick start' it. Only then could work actually begin.
If it was a council project it would have been finished by now and wouldn't have been stalled by the 2007/2008 crisis. If anything they would have been able to do it cheaper as builders rates came down when there was less work about.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -

It's two large developments one of almost 4000 homes the first 235 of which have detailed planning approved. The other is about 1200 homes of which 80 have full planning and the rest have outline.
one would expect a phased approach to the building

Yes one would but I suppose if it was just planning stopping the development then one could argue that they could build faster.
One thing for sure is that the impact on the already crowded roads will be large as there is no plan to improve them.
Not prepared to give link but it is government owned land.0 -
