Why Land?

The population of England has been growing for many years, especially in the south east. There's also a change in the nature of households with smaller families and more single occupancy. The Housing Minister, Yvette Cooper MP, expresses this simply . . .

"The population is growing, the economy is growing, the demand for new workers is growing and household formation is changing with an aging society and family break up. The demand for housing is increasing."

The result is an imbalance of supply vs. demand in the land holders' favour. What shape and form that housing takes is irrelevant to land owners. Whether executive houses, or affordable flats for key workers, land is needed for new homes. There is an ever increasing demand as stated by the UK government for the need of an additional 3 million new homes over the next decade. This figure has been revised up many times over and that trend is extremely likely to continue.
