Unless the land is going for affordable housing (where its value is considerably less, locally it was 10k/house ) you would have to be very wealthy to match the prices offered by developers. In our village 2 small building plots sold for £350k. I'm not sure offering the council money is the way to go, the only way the council will be involved would be through the planning process and bribing them may not be the answer .
Your yard owner is only doing what 90% of people would do, some may say it's greedy but for the majority the opportunity to potentially change your life is a massive incentive.
True but Op got nothing to lose have they if they approach yard owner with an offer. I cannot say to much on here but we shall call them *X* is doing a similar thing but not in development, they are offering the council £ XXXXX with a condition attached near me, and we are still waiting the outcome.
