While I agree with the general thrust of this, I'm not entirely sure what they could have done better. Deliberately blighting an area to drive down prices and increase their chances is clearly not on, but when they've been clearly establishing a pattern of purchasing pockets of land with a long-term view to collecting them together for a grand scheme, should they really be required to let them out until they have the full compliment to avoid the appearance of blighting? This seems equally unreasonable; they are purchasing development plots as fast as they can and (within reason) should surely be allowed to treat them as empty development plots until commencement to maximise their chances of speedy success?
