Reports describe allegations that a traveller advertises caravan pitches for “off-plan” sale on Facebook before any diggers arrive or construction begins. The Daily Mail says Martin Mongan posted that he was offering for purchase a yet-to-be-built caravan pitch, using wording such as “off-plan” and describing the land as available to buyers. The article also claims the online promotion appears to precede the physical work at the site, with diggers allegedly turning up about a week after the Facebook post. According to the reporting, the post is used to attract buyers in advance of any development taking place, raising questions about the legality and oversight of such caravan pitches and the process for selling or marketing land intended for occupation.
The coverage centers on the timing and content of the social media advertisement and presents this as evidence supporting claims that illegal or unauthorised caravan site activity may be being marketed before infrastructure is created.
