Landowner selling plot he cannot build on

FED UP with fighting the planning authorities, Mick Le Tissier is now prepared to sell the plot of land he owns at Rue de la Hougue in Castel.

Mr Le Tissier, 73 (pictured), has put the site up for sale at £75,000 after finally admitting defeat in his quest to build a home on the derelict greenhouse site. He bought the land 18 years ago.

‘It’s been dragging on for years and years. I’ve been on the phone to deputies but no one wants to take it up.’

The land is classed as agricultural but he sees no reason why it should not be changed now or perhaps in the future in order to allow development. He said he just wanted to use the land to give something to his children and their families for the future.
