    There is too much over simplified thinking here.

    Andy - developers will only build if there is a demand. We dont know what demand there will be over the next 30 years. The building may be very gradual and maybe at the end of 30 years there will still be room left for more houses within the planned developemnt area, maybe they will all be built within 10 years. No-one knows though many will guess.

    The whole point is the market will take care of it. If there are not the jobs then people wont move down here and therefore the houses wont be built. If there is not room to expand the labour force locally due to no housing then there wont be an increase in business development and jobs wont be created (or at least surplus jobs over and above what the present working population need).

    Stop talking as if the land will immediately be sold off to developers who will build x thousand houses. It does not work that way.

    Think of this as no more than an 'outline' permission to develop the land in this way if the demand is there at any point over the next 30 years. No jobs, no demand, no houses and it works visa versa as well.
