Followed land report (7)
I believe the answer is:
tracked
'followed' is the definition.
(to track is to follow or tail)
'land report' is the wordplay.
'land' becomes 'tract' (tract can mean an area of land).
'report' shows a homophone (sound like) (as heard, or reported by someone).
'tract' is a homophone of 'TRACKED'.
(Other definitions for tracked that I've seen before include "Trailed" , "Followed movement of" .)
