I may have the wrong end of the stick but ISTR that there is something in
the "local plan", possibly orginating from central government, that
restricts the number of new houses that can be built in a given period of
time in a given area.

Interesting. However this would not stop anyone applying for
permission in the next quota period. The odds seem to be stacked very
much towards the developer, they can appeal but objectors can't.
