Could be good, and there's real potential to make some serious money. Unfortunately DIO are involved......
No doubt some lucky national developer will pick the land up for pennies and then turn it around for pounds.
It would be nice if the DIO could run the whole project from start to finish in house and sell on the completed homes to maximise income for the estate but to be honest at times you'd think they couldn't project manage a kids homework project!
Another good idea would be to build the homes to sell at a discount to public servants such as NHS, Serving/Ex Forces, Fire, Police etc...
Or do the lot as a massive self build project.
