Based on recent experience, there are planners out there who couldn't find their own bottom with both hands and a map.
On a more serious note, there is some sense in Unit's post. There seems to be a genuine belief in Government that the answer to economic stagnation is to deregulate planning to let developers 'create wealth'. In reality I can't see how this can possibly help. As long as world finances are in turmoil, banks aren't lending, growing numbers of people are out of work, and those with jobs are paid less; no one can afford to buy the houses they are building.
And regardless of the rhetoric, developers are not building 'affordable' houses, but property they can sell at the (still massively inflated) local market rate. We may all be in this together but the developers are very much in this for themselves.
