The speed at which farmland disappearing under houses etc,etc!!!

exactly council do very well out of developments, if they were not full of useless oafs it might be used much better with the money

problem is councils are full of dead wood, ive been waiting 6 months of a foot path map, there no reason (they admitted this) for the time delay and they apologise every time i email, there just useless...

i heard a local story of someone waiting over 6 months for planning that should have taken 8 weeks, they honestly said the planner was working from home and 'was struggling to get motivated'

none of these plebs have ever run their own business and sadly even the good ones either leave or seem to get drawn into the 'council' work ethic and this is manager to bottom level, just imagine

that's why we have sh!t amenities not cos developers don't chip in (and loads) its just cos the people organising/running them probably struggle to flush a turd...

if someone sells land good for them, i dont see why they should pay it all in tax there much wealthier people about paying jizz all like of social media companies etc,

just a shame what councils do get the squander,

on topic there's loads near me going up, i drive past wondering where all the people are coming from to buy these new houses, and where is all the 'new money' coming from to pay for them

Same here , outskirts of edinburgh is phenomenal amount of nee houses ! I wonder where they come from and where they all work but they do !!

Divorces and second families account for a lot of new housing demand. One 2 child family essentially needs two family homes if the parental relationship breaks down, which around 33% of them now do. Couple that with a general trend increase in living alone across all age brackets and a rising population you’re not long in needing a lot more housing. Far more than we can ever build actually when you look at the stats

They take that off the developers .

No not really, the landowners final price is effectively adjusted by the developers to account for infrastructure and social requirements.

Thanks for mentioning, divorces and second families, as I hadn’t given that a thought.

I’m planning to sell a load of wheat in a few weeks…..will I need to pay for the mill’s milling equipment?

Probably

 

[bluebell]

has anyone thought were this will leadto in the long term? thousands of acres of land that grew food lost to development a year, plus a rapidly growing population? not long before it goes bang?

No but if you were making as much as the mill and the mill as little as the farmes you might

More and more folk understandably wanting ‘living space’ too.
The old cottages in the village now tend to have 1-3 people in them. Back in the 50s and earlier they would commonly have had 10 people living in each 2-3 bedroom house. Must have been bedlam.

The demand for space requires more housing development.
How many second homes are there too? There are wealthy people locally with a main house, a cottage in Cornwall, a flat in London and another property abroad somewhere. Essentially four houses per family.

Why,
You bank 20 million,
Pay the tax
Still left with 12 million
But no.
go and spend the 20 million, on more land,
And you still have the grief and headache of running a business,
I just don’t get it, !!

Because as a farmer, why wouldn't you swap 1 acre for 20 if you get the chance ?

 

[Steevo]

I have to admit I haven't seen a poor land developer.....

The tax is still to pay when the land that was bought with rollover money is sold or when you or your beneficiary sells the land. The tax is just put off paying to a later date.

If a beneficiary sells the land there would be no tax to pay as the capital gain is wiped out on death!

 

[chaffcutter]

We are losing some land for expansion of the local sewage works, it was bought as rollover from the proceeds of a sale of land that was bought as a rollover from the sale of some sold before, the accountant is doing a bit of headscratching over the base cost for the tax comp!
No choice but to sell it, if we hadn’t done a deal they would have compulsory purchased it.

 

[chaffcutter]

CGT o problem for beneficiary but still got Inheritance tax to pay.
