↑ #31 Property Location Rights
Planning permission gives a right to build a house on land.
This is Property Location Right, the right for the house to stay there.
The ONS wrongly value land+PLR as a natural resource.
Land is a natural resource. PLRs are not.
↑ #32 Greenbelts and the view
Green belt policy is usually regarded as the one strong weapon planners have against developers who would destroy our environment; our environment which is free for us all, rich and poor, to enjoy. But, in reality, it
- — Increases in the value of land with planning permission
- — Gives massive rewards to the affluent (owners of property and land)
- — Penalises the poor and the young
- — Rewards those that pollute the most – the affluent
- — Protects green fields of monoculture with little biodiversity
However, they are good for to drive through and look at the view.
