In the South East in general and Groombridge land in particular, the number of Green Belt dwellings rose from 553 in 1996 to 1175 in 2000.

Under John Prescott's watch, Groombridge land is being given special attention for sustainable development.

In December 2005, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott had given his backing to the Greenbelt land development which will include affordable homes, schools, community facilities, playing fields, shops and transport but he refused a proposal for 5,000 dwellings. Special attention to Groombridge land should also be given to meet the ever growing demand.

The message couldn't be clearer. Groombridge Land, particularly greenfield sites in close proximity to expanding urban and suburban centres, is strongly tipped to be the top investment performer for the projected future. Investors, from major property portfolio managers to individual first-time buyers, are increasingly being drawn to the exciting opportunities of buying land.

In fact, some part of Groombridge actually falls over into the adjoining county and hence there is some local controversy about whether it should remain as it is or should absorbed by one of the two counties.

The Government’s plans for a major house-building programme are based on the insidious belief that increasing the volume of land availability is the most important way to go aboard upon the calamity of unaffordable housing in the UK. Considering this view of the Government, many land banking firms of London have incorporated themselves in the business of selling greenbelt land to the general public. This is being done in the anticipation of obtaining huge returns from the land, once the Government grants planning permission

Groombridge Land is surrounded by greenbelt and undeveloped barren land. considerate development of this kind of land would help in creating jobs opportunities in rural areas, and by increasing supply of land the house prices would become affordable to new buyers who are young and belong to low earning category.

Hence the Government should take the initiative to bring down the ever increasing price of residential and commercial land by providing planning permission on the un-developed greenbelt and green field.

The main feature of Groombridge land area is the Enchanted Forest which is laid out over a mile and takes between one and a half and three hours to walk round.

Without giving away too much of the magic watch out for Zeedonks, falling rocks, dragons, fairy gold, swings and Indians.

The first half of the Enchanted Forest is an obstruction course of sorts and there are three ways through, one for the young and energetic adults, a slightly easier route for a more sedate journey and a flat path for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Pack drinks and something to eat with you in a rucksack as there is nowhere to buy refreshments along the route except in high season and there were no toilets that we could see so ensure your party do not have to return to the beginning of, or rush through, the route by visiting the facilities before you set off.

At the end of the Enchanted Forest you can board a boat back to the house for a single fare of £1 or take the surprisingly short walk back.

Hot and cold food and drinks are available in The Garden Room in Groombridge land area a licensed restaurant where a children's lunch box with a jam, ham or cheese sandwich, crisps, chocolate bar, fruit and a drink costs around £4. A family of four can choose a meal each with selected drinks for around £25.

Groombridge land area is home to The Raptor Centre, the largest conservation centre for birds of prey in the south east and making time to watch one of their shows is a must. The show we saw featuring a vulture, buzzard and hawk was both informative and comical.

Groombridge land area is open everyday until November 4, from 10am to 5.30pm. Tickets cost around £9 for adults; £7 for children 12 and under and senior citizens, children under three are free of charge. A family ticket for two adults and two children costs around £30. Special events are held throughout the year

Sussex Farmlands were the next target of the scamsters who bought the irrigated land for low prices and sold them to investors in high prices in wake of highest returns. The investors were only left with a piece of land where they could do farming only and not build anything.

Farmlands near Slough guaranteed higher returns than any other property investments owing to its nearness to the city area. Although some parts of the region got permission to build houses but most investors didn't get more than a small farmland that didn't deserve farming.

The scamsters operated from a broiler room, where from they trapped most of the people they called up and were successful to make huge sums of money.

Now, people have arose to a level where they can fight with every type of a scam or a scamsters, this is the reason UK has been able to forget Kent Land Scams, Sussex Land Scams and London Land Scams.

Mulholland, the Liberal Democrat, argued that the land banking companies are trying hard to get a pie out of the sale of investment land and that the Government and the Ministers will agree to work with him on this issue. The MP for Leeds, North West also commented on the full investment process through which the investor goes and the company makes money.

The MP told the Parliament as to how the Government reacted to one of the Land Scams being conducted in Victoria, Australia. The government body barred the said company for any promotional and marketing activities until full hearing of the case has been done. But no such decisive action has taken place in the UK.

The MP said that a company contacted him for this matter and put its concern over the growing number of fly-by-night land banking companies. Mr. Mulholland concluded that a governing body to rule out the possible scams has to be devised.

The measure suggested by Mr. Mulholland can successfully prevent the scamsters to sell the land of Groombridge Land and Sussex Farmland.
