Chad Brady, a 31-year-old convicted drug dealer, is linked to a group of companies involved in purchasing land for unauthorized developments in West Chiltington, West Sussex, and Willows Green, Essex. Heavy machinery began working at these sites despite temporary stop notices issued by local councils, which struggle to enforce regulations during long weekends when unauthorized construction is often initiated. Brady, who previously managed a cocaine dealing operation, was a key director of these companies, which were dissolved shortly after their land purchases. The land at Willows Green was bought for £125,000 on April 29, 2025, and £200,000 on July 21 for the West Chiltington site. Local councils have expressed concerns about the rapid developments and have sought emergency High Court injunctions to prevent further unauthorized construction. The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by local authorities in managing land use and the growing trend of unauthorized developments by travelers.
