Probably has more to do with a lack of demand at the expected inflated prices. Developers able to sit on land banks.
If the demand was there, planning applications would be going in,
Happened where live in 2008, an area a magnet for all sorts of schemes, that suddenly went quiet when the 'credit crunch' happened, finance and opportunism were the main factors in driving housing/apartment projects.

This is one of those battles where you want both sides to lose. I'm no fan of this "build your own back to the earth" stuff, but what's wrong with local builders, hopefully employing local labour, just building half a dozen houses at a time, dotted here there and everywhere?
