Land Development In England Placed In Hands of State
The House of Commons approved a bill transferring control of all future real estate development from private hands to state appointed planning authorities. The town and country planning bill would have government control over every acre of Welsh and English soil, with Scotland to follow. The measure passed 342 to 150 after a Labour majority defeated a Conservative motion to reject it. Critics worry about a 1.2 billion compensation fund for landlords. supporters say it prices in development gains. No landlord may alter property without government consent and must pay a development fee if approved.
