Palma.The Conservative MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, Mark Field, joins a long list of foreign property owners who have had problems over the years. Hollywood legend Michael Douglas was fined over work carried out at his rural estate near Valldemossa while tennis star Boris Becker got caught in a planning dispute between Arta Council and the Council of Majorca over an extension made to his property in the municipality. Super model Claudia Schiffer ran into problems with Andratx Council and Sir Richard Branson was prevented from developing the Son Bunyola estate estate into the most luxurious rural hotel in Europe. In fact, Branson was so furious over being blocked by the local council and environmentalists that he sold up all his business interests in the island and eventually sold his remaining share in the Son Bunyola estate in 2007, severing all his ties with Majorca.
