Why are you doing it on the chargeable relief it tells you how many estates and the value in the table.

Total Estates
177,000 estates had property in them
1,730 had agriculture relied
0.98% of all probate propertyes

Gross Market Value
£ 56,380,000,000 Estates
£ 1,570,000,000 APR Estates
2.78% of all probates

But Average Value
£ 318,531 average probate
£ 907,514 average AFB
ARP typically 285% higher priced

Number of Transactions a year - 1,150,000
AFB- 0.15% of the total number of transactions a year.
Thats hardly a substantial part of the market

Apologies for this but in this article you are making so many mistakes, and if you are shadow housing secretary I feel a duty for you to have the facts before doing something silly.

If people want a change maybe breaking up communities is the way forward... we aren't building them on the side of the himalayas we will be adding on to current settlement as we need access and utilties. Where we have built and sold them to people who want to live there for many years. Look at how improved Preston is now.Image Pretty much every borough is going to have to review, only about 20% of boroughs can demonstrate a 5yr land supply. London is going through their London plan now that will dictate the sub-boroughs of their Local but Development plan

And trust me although the words have changed its going to have little difference to what we had previously regards Greenbelt. It will only be approved if its being allocated or the council cannot demonstrate a 5yr Land Supply so your LPAs probably want to get one started as fast as possible.

@LordLucasCD @russellcurtis Hi @LordLucasCD
Colour me surprised your Conservative & actually want homes built. But if you are sincere let me run through things with you:
1) Follow @shortthought and read this thread:
2) Force councils to review their LDPs annually - not decades @LordLucasCD @russellcurtis @shortthought 3) If like the GMSPF we have waited since 2014 (how long worked on it) to be released after 12m force LAs to do interim LDP review annually until GMSPF.
4) Stop northern towns from planning a "Town Centre Office Led Regen"- thinking they are the next silicone valley in Tameside.
