Green whack

[empip]

The green belt has helped maintain land prices, the cost of that falls upon each and every one of us .. inflated property prices .. available building land is scarce and therefore overpriced..

...In July, Kate Barker reckoned that farmland was worth, on average, £10,000 per hectare, compared with £2.6m per hectare for housing land. It already happens that some landowners in the green belt deliberately leave their land looking as ugly as possible, in the hope that no one will object to it being developed. On the other hand, some brownfield sites are so contaminated by industrial use that the profit from improving the land is almost all soaked up by the cost of cleaning it up...

2.47 acres per Hectare.
