Having proposed the implementation of the below proposal I would like to encourage the debate and constructive criticism of it.
Description: A proposition to enforce the registration of all land use. In order to accelerate urban development, maintain reasonable housing levels and prices and curb the domination of land masses by a landed gentry elite we propose an enforced registration of the use of all land within UN borders. By imposing a sensible level of tax on land which is being withheld by developers to raise prices, abolishing the right to register sprawling estates as 'wasteland' in order to avoid tax and garner subsidies for the landowners and implementing the protection of wetlands, green belt and endangered habitats via registration and minimum levels of upkeep we hope to encourage growth whilst also preserving natural beauty and engendering a more evenly distributed share of land ownership.
