AS a matter of curiosity I would like to know if City of York Council receives more council tax by building blocks and blocks of flats rather than maybe two houses on some plots?

If so, could this be the reason they happily hand out planning permission to build flats to developers rather than houses? York is becoming an eyesore as any resident will vouch.
