Since the land aspect of a home is typically half the cost, this potential for profit in owning farm land will swell an already fanatical industry of developers and family trusts buying farms with no intention of ever farming, but to profit from a planning application more than the construction margin ever could.

Getting planning permission is not 'free market' competition. It is about knowing what might get through and buying that, then getting the right people on board to get permission. Well it looks like Boles did it the other way and became the person on board. I wonder how many of his political supporters are also barn owners looking to make an easy £100k on each.
An MP is supposed to stay clear of issues in which they have a vested interest.
That is way Nick Boles is receiving today's #MinisterialCodeToiletPaper award.
Like many MPs Nick Boles should be in court for breach or trust.
But will probably end up printing millions for his loved ones and provide nothing towards the infrastructure the new homeowners will use.
