Another 50 years at present population growth and the only places not built over in this country will be where those who own, or sold, the rest of the world live.

It's a well known myth that UK is massively built on, in fact currently 93% of the UK is not urban and of the urban areas, on average 54% is greenspace (parks, sports pitches etc), add on gardens, rivers, lakes etc and it comes to about 78.6% of urban areas are not built on. In England (the highest part of the UK in terms of urban landscape, at 10.6%) the actual built on percent is 2.27%, in the rest of the UK it's under 1%. You could build every major city in the UK 3 more times before you even got to 10% of the UK being built on

Still probably the most densely populated large country in the world, particularly England and especially the south east.

Increased population density isn't a target many would aspire to.
