Profiteering property developers that hoard land and
councils that block developments will be swept aside in a "non-stop
drive" to more than double the number of homes being built each year in
England, Ed Miliband has promised. Attacking "stick-in-the-mud councils",
the Labour leader said he would order a national planning inspectorate to give
priority to local authorities that want to expand if they are being blocked by
neighbouring councils refusing to release land. Under the Labour plans,
councils would be empowered to compulsorily purchase land or charge fees if
developers fail to build on land for which they have planning permission. Read
