It was interesting to see that land in the Ruscombe Valley (see fields left and further down valley below) is still being sold for outrageous prices - I suspect they are getting desperate as all political parties have said no to development here - it's AONB - and there is such a strong action group (click 'Label' below for more on the Ruscombe Valley Action Group) - indeed at the first meeting with no notice over 100 local residents turned out. I really can't see this land being developed - it can't even be fenced as an Article 4 was put on it so there is little that it could be used for...
See the advert here. They want offers in excess of £17,500 and describe it as: "This piece of land is designated as agricultural and therefore is being sold with no planning permission. However, the vendor is of the opinion that it will command a high price in the event of a successful planning application. The plot is 0.25 acres. It would be large enough for a detached dwelling with gardens with the relevant and successful planning permission." And is this another advert here? Is anyone still falling for that? Of course it would be a high price if it had planning - in my view this is a scam - not on the same level as I have reported on this blog re other companies who are landbanking - but nevertheless a scam - indeed on a website called Property Scam you can still read about the Ruscombe valley - see here for lots of reasons why not to buy.
