Affordable housing would be better than mobile homes! (I forgot to mention the site's been known to flood occasionally)
As it happens my example is somewhere where rich people actually go to live and commute to Birmingham etc, can only think of a couple of second homes and they're mostly overpriced barn conversions outside the village anyway - would second home owners get a vote? That would skew things badly, they're the people most likely to object to development, one would suspect.....it's getting ridiculous when all the people who actually make the place work (someone has to serve all the beers and food in that oh-so-nice village pub) have to commute in from somewhere else - no problem here though, anyone need some students?
