Yes, I should be very clear that I don't want to protect large property owners with thousands of lots trying to protect their investments. That's a point where it's just the business's skill that's in question.
However, most people will only ever buy one house. Or at the very least, they'll only ever own one house at a time (small legal overlaps not withstanding). It's a completely different story. That's all I'm saying.

But I also think that overly sweeping restrictions can block initiatives with small downsides but overall positive impact on society like building solar panels or wind turbines. *: the place where I grew up now has a factory next to it. It's unsightly, though it could have been much much worse, and sometimes noisy, but at least my parents at least can now also enjoy remote heating at ok-ish conditions. And it's nothing compared to the major pre-existing road immediately next to their house.
