  Looking at the list again the usual mantra of affordable housing comes up. One of the sites is in the Cotswolds which I remember as an area of picture post card villages, I doubt the locals will allow a few blocks with studio flats to ruin their rural idyll.

  Still on the subject of Government targets for house building the Housing Minister thinks that £250,000 outside London and £450,00 inside the capital is affordable housing.

  Yet people are continuing to errrrr afford unaffordable homes? Sales continue, prices rising nicely and I STILL haven't seen the area filled with Chinese millionaires and Russian oligarchs!

  Not first time buyers though Bob just people trading up or down. The so called affordable housing that your party harps on about is supposed to be for first time buyers.
