Tycoon may sue council over quarry
Mohamed al Fayed has vowed to take Surrey County Council to court if plans to extend a sand quarry on greenbelt land are successful.
Mr al Fayed warned he would "take them to hell" if the quarry near his family home in Oxted, Surrey, is used for mineral extraction.
The plans would not only "destroy" English countryside but would also put strain on small country roads as heavy lorries go to and from the site, said the former Harrods owner.
The chairman of Fulham Football Club – who has lived near the site for 40 years – claimed the council failed to consult local residents properly about the plans.
