| I was listening to LBC on this subject. A mixed development near Elephant and Castle was being built and the developer said he wanted to put up 61 for sale immeidiately to get some cash. Believe it or not one person bought the entire 61. They remained empty but it was not mentioned for how long. The big one to watch is Battersea Power Station. Also another trick is to say I want to build 300 flats 100 for affordable rent if the council will provide planning permission. Of course it is. Later a building progresses they say things are getting difficult financially so I need to reduce the 100 affordable unit by say 50. Another thing thats annoys me is when the taxpayer pays to have toxic land cleaned before it is sold to a privater developer. |
