A BID to build a house on Green Belt land which is guaranteed to be unsuccessful is the latest move in the battle to persuade people not to buy speculative plots of land.

Wheathampstead Parish Council is to apply to build a house on the land being marketed by Property Spy along Lower Luton Road between the village and Harpenden.

Parish council chairman Cllr Keith Stammers explained: "Once our application is refused this will appear on documents associated with the legal searches. We hope this will prevent potential buyers from going ahead with the sale."
