"The Housing and Planning Act 2016 provides the statutory framework for the delivery of starter homes. The Act defines starter homes as new homes costing up to £250,000 (£450,000 in London), to be available at a minimum 20% discount on market value to eligible first-time buyers. The legislation includes provisions to introduce a general duty on planning authorities in England to promote the supply of starter homes, and a specific duty to require a minimum number or proportion of starter homes on certain residential development sites. The starter homes legislative provisions are not yet in force."

Just across the road from us is a brownfield site. Used to house sheds and barns for a farm, so it got planning permission quite easily for 8 houses (4 x 3-bed detached and 2 pairs of small semis - definitely starter homes).The guide price will be c £180K - £200Kfor the small ones). The land has now been on sale for over a year and there are no offers from developers - it's too big for throwing up a couple of houses quickly and cheaply and not big enough for more serious investment. The farmer is now clearing the site to make it more attractive (which is noisy and messy!).
Even so, I can't see it selling as it is. Our 3-bed semi is way bigger than the ones they plan - and cost £130K in 2015. We got it cheaply, and one just sold for £168K, so £180/200K for a smaller one is far too much.
There is also the small problem of 2 buses per week and no other public transport, plus no village shop any more. Only amenities are the Church, the pub (good one), the Community centre and a very reasonable infants/junior school. (Results are sound, not brilliant.)
Oh, and no immediately available jobs so 2 cars are necessary for a family to function.
No surprise that housing targets are not being met is there?
