Tories hit the Sutton Rich!!
Sutton Tories are beginning to set out their local planning polciy.
They seem to have definitely taken David Cameron to heart!!:-)
In recent weeks they have proposed planning policies to that seem to imply up to a third of the borough should be an Area of Special Local Character in planning terms.
As a result they are aiming to send the message to the wealthiest third of households in the borough that they should not be making the 60,000-100,000 extra capital they would make if they could redevelop their houses. This cap on aspiration clearly shows that they do seem to believe there is such a thing as society!:-)
As a result I think we can assume local Tories do seem supportive of owner-occupiers making extra money in the remaining two-thirds of the borough which nowadays has up to a 70% owner-ocuupation rate and which developers will focus on. As a result of their ASLC polcies, Tories are presumably happy for some development to occur there instead of in ASLC areas (otherwise they wouldn't propose such a designation?) and for local residents to enahance the amount of capital obtainable on their property in non ASLC areas.
In the past such a policy for well-off areas (up to the 1980's when the Tories were last in power locally) was aimed to protect the wealthy from the status of their area supposedly declining in comparison to other local areas, however nowadays suburbs in general have declined relative to urban areas and the countryside and also through the higher turnover of residents who are likely to move more often when family circumstances change to make better use of their tied up capital.
Whilst what the Tories locally are not proposing redistribution as such, they do seem to recognise that it is proper to cap certain ways by the very well-off to of obtain extra wealth through introducing policies that promote the wider interest of society!:-!
No doubt they will be strongly promoting this policy as an example of how they are prepared to take on sectional interests such as the wealthiest third of the borough!:-)
