A rarity: well done that man.

Anothee local plan gers the goahead: http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/local-plan-approval-means-thousands-of-houses-will-be-built-in-warwick-district-1-8160730

Don't you just love the definition...

So, basically people with huge deposits!

Ye gods; someone's actually considering infrastructure!

A rarity definitely. But 6 years to complete?

That seems to be the speed government runs - why do something in 6 months, when it can be dragged out for years.

The Greater Brum Authority seens to getting really stuck in to its role: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/plans-thousands-new-homes-coventry-13702211

Watch the urban sprawl! All greenbelt land between Brum and the other areas will gradually be eroded.

This looks ok, but I'm not sure about the steel & zinc coating: http://www.stratford-herald.com/77675-controversial-apartments-plan-maison-site-approved.html

I'm not a fan of a lot of cladding finishes that the building industry uses.

Steel cladding can often end up looking like cheap warehousing. - I don't think I'd be buying.

A lot of greenbelt is being built on, but they're actually planning on redeveloping brownfield sites too!!

It's scary how much house prices have risen in the last 20 years: http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/uk-house-price-trends-how-warwickshire-compares-with-the-rest-of-the-country-1-8261772

It's a bubble and like all bubbles at some point it will burst. - Sadly, when it does people will get badly burned.

I'm planning to sit tight where I am for at least 10 years, so am not too worried about house prices in the short-term. Having bought a property in the last 18 months, I can't afford to move; and, anyway, after putting all this effort into buying my place & getting it how I want it, I'm going to make the most of it!

I bought a small 5 year old place in '91. It was well within my budget and I easily cleared my mortgage within 12 years. - One of the main reasons why I could retire early.

My son has just bought and extended himself dreadfully: if (when) interest rates go up he has left himself no room for manoeuvre.

Daughter is also on about buying in the first half of 2018, I hope she looks at things a little bit more conservatively, and listens to what dad advises.
