So more and more pressure is being put on green previously undeveloped areas surrounding towns, a general term for this is greenfield sites, and is the most desirable building land. It is therefore the rarest, most difficult to obtain and thus the most expensive.
Unfortunately they will give this impression because quite frankly no local town wants more development in their own back yard, and will always initially say no to any planning applications. This has become such a serious problem that major nationwide property developers are having to lobby parliament to encourage local authorities to be more lenient and understanding. It is no secret that it can take many years of planning applications before local planners agree to a development, and many firms make a good living out of simply progressing planning applications. Obviously planning applications can be taken through various appeal stages and John Prescott has made many initiatives to get councils to release greenbelt land for development with increasing success. He has promised "hundreds of thousands of new homes in the south east to tackle the massive local shortages. Local planners are just normal people who have a job to do, and if they agreed to just any development without question our towns would be a bigger mess than they are now. Greenfield sites are constantly and continually being released for development and we all know of sites where just a few years ago it would have seemed impossible to contemplate development on that are now housing estates with hundreds of houses. Housing is always needed, pressures are getting greater and planning authorities, officials  and policies come and go and will change over the coming years. It is not normally a case of whether You will get permission but when.

This enables the shrewd private investor to emulate the fortunes that have been made by developers without tying up huge sums of money.
