The land is located behind housing.

The Local Plan is to be replaced by a Local Development Framework which will comprise a collection of documents dealing with a ‘vision’ for the area, together with individual matters, including the specific sites for development. This Local Plan will have to ensure that sufficient land is allocated to meet ‘strategic’ housing requirement.
The Mulberry’s falls under the remit of South Bucks District Council are currently phasing in the new LDF, which will include a Core Strategy. These changes are expected to be phased in over the next two years, after council consultations. Currently, South Bucks District Council will be placing a greater onus on the areas of Gerrards Cross & Beaconsfield, once the Core Strategy is set and agreed.
Recent information suggests that for the next 5 years, South Bucks District Council will be able to meet the housing shortage by sourcing Brownfield sites, at which point once suitable Brownfield Sites are taken up, standard strategy is to then turn to Greenfield sites within the area.
WHY BUY LAND?
Land has long been viewed as a solid investment. Investing is no longer the exclusive domain of the property developer. It’s open to private investors as well. One of the great strengths of land is that you have a tangible asset you could potentially build on.
According to the BBC and Halifax, over the last 20 years, housing prices on average have risen by 306% compared to land prices which have risen by over 808% across the UK. Nationally land prices have risen on average by 12% a year, but in the South East prices have risen by as much 30%.
- It is a viable investment alternative to property & the stock market – According to RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors), overall agricultural land prices rose by up to 30% in the 12 months to November 2004.
- Scarcity of residential and commercial land is forcing up general land prices and demand. Local Councils cannot guarantee that a Greenfield site will never be granted planning permission because central government have the final say.
- 200,000 new residents move to the South East each year, increasing the demand for development.
- The government plans to construct 3.8 million new houses over the next 20 years, up to 2 million of which are to be built on Greenbelt land.
- Does not wear or depreciate and is guaranteed to last forever.
- It is a tangible asset that can be resold for profit and is not subject to bank charges, tax, rates, fraudulent management, market crashes or political issues. Not subject to inheritance tax.
