By declaring this land as a corridor, the government is essentially flagging it for potential future development and may restrict what can be built there in the meantime. This gives the government flexibility to plan big projects without having to negotiate land purchases later at potentially higher prices, or deal with incompatible development that has already occurred."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[{"type":"self_contradicting","section":"Title/Scope","severity":"medium","reasoning":"Strategic infrastructure corridors are typically reserved for utilities, transport, or critical services.

A reader relying on this assurance for legal certainty has no remedy if the promise is broken.","confidence":0.5,"description":"The notice states legislation is 'usually updated within 3 working days after a change' yet the file was last modified 29 June 2022 and the version is described as current 'to date'.
