Our local council had some land available in my village and had earmarked it for Housing Association houses... But the "local community group" kicked off hard about it so it was sold to a private housing developer, and now its 4 and 5 bedroom fully detached houses.
This is a village where there is NO council housing. None, at all... Every single one was bought out 10+ years ago.
