ADVERTISEMENTS for strips of Green Belt land headlined "Plans for 25,000 homes are revealed" and with another line saying: "Plans to build thousands of new homes on greenbelt land on the edge of St Albans", are the subject of a complaint.

St Albans-based Property Spy, which sells off land speculatively for future development, made the claims in their advertisement.

Now the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has complained to the Advertising Standards Authority because there are no such plans...

"We are taking this matter to the Advertising Standards Authority to try to protect prospective buyers from being misled and stop our countryside from being staked out and despoiled by people bent on making a quick profit."
