From The Daily Mail:
A farmer who wants to give travellers her land for free because she hates her neighbours was confronted by irate locals today and told: 'We are not up our own a****'...
Mrs Watson made her controversial offer after a local council turned down her application to building temporary accommodation for stable workers on her two and a half acre plot.
She insists that travellers would have better luck making a similar planning application.
Today she said she had been 'flooded' with requests from travellers who wanted to take her up on her offer of buying the plot which she says is worth around £350,000.
One suspects that the new building really would only have been 'temporary accommodation for stable workers' for a year or two, after which it would be sold as a normal house, but so what?
Sadly, the article does not tell us what a typical house would cost in the village. Her plot would be worth £350,000 if she had planning for a couple of houses, but she doesn't.
