no suprise that it's now our ancient heritage that will be cynically and selfishly traded to fill their coffers.

Well, no more barn conversions to sell off (Maggie's gift remember. £200K windfalls, gratis, to those who didn't need it - and in sharp contrast to her other property-related move - the right to buy your council house if you paid for it!) so I guess the lasndowners are overdue for a handout.

I can actually prove it's corrupt favouritism:
Logically, planning permission on woodland or a barn represents a lump of value entirely created by us, the community, with the stroke of a pen. No-one earned it or deserves it, so logically it should be subject to a 100% Development Tax, yes? So why isn't that being proposed?

That's an excellent point!
