The frightening looking Deborah Meaden wants to sell a plot of land owned by one of her companies to a housing developer which plans to build 48 homes.
However, the company now claims that 12 gardens adjoining the greenfield site are illegally encroaching on to the plot and the homeowners are guilty of trespass.
Homeowners in Wishings Road, Brixham, Devon, received a letter on June 19 demanding the land be returned or court action would be taken.
The residents, who have not been told how much of their garden encroaches onto the land, have never altered the boundaries of their property !
Glenys Wright, 65, said the letter she received was an attempt by Meaden to "walk all over residents" to get her own way.
She said: "Deborah Meaden is not the ethical, environmentalist that she says she is. She is a very uncaring person."
The mother-of-four moved on to the street 18 months ago and said she would not have bought the property if she had been aware of the plans.
The field, known locally as 'Wishing Field', is owned by Mudstone LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), of which Meaden is a member.
Protesters reacted furiously last year after they discovered Mudstone was poised to sell the previously undeveloped site to Millwood Homes Ltd of Newton Abbot, Devon, which wants to expand its nearby 200-home housing estate.
An original application to build 48 homes on the suite was rejected by Torbay District Council on the grounds of traffic congestion, but a revised application has now been submitted.
Campaigners have since lodged an application with the council to have the land kept as a village green.
They say the land has been used by walkers and as a children's play area for more than 60 years.....Proceeding.....
To use her own words "I for one won't be investing....."
Until the next time.
Mr Jackson.
