Farmer turns down £275MILLION to sell his land for housing: Father-of-two says he would be 'doing a massive disfavour' to community if he 'took the money and ran'
Farmer Robert Worsley, 48, was approached by agents for housebuilder Mayfield more than two years ago to sell his land in Twineham near Haywards Heath in Sussex. The multi-million pound potential offer is 100 times his farm's current value, even though it covers only one-seventh of the proposed 10,000-home development. Mr Worsley,is now battling the proposals, fearing that his local area faces ruin.
