Neighbours were furious about plans to build on land around Liberty Durant's mansion.
An exclusive £25million housing development linked to a Lanarkshire fraudster has been rejected by the Scottish government.
The family of the 74-year-old Durant - who drives a Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible - has owned the land around his home for many years. A last bid to force the application through was sent to the government by Bothwell Land and Developments, which has links to Durant's business associates.Council papers revealed the Durant family had signed a Section 75 planning agreement in 2003 which placed restrictions on any development on the site.
Dozens of objectors had been enraged by plans for the 'major development' of houses and flats on the green belt land, which sits on a flood plain. Government reporter Rosie Leven said the developer's claims the site would help solve a housing shortage did not justify building on the land.
