One resisting local development (5)

I believe the answer is:

nimby

(Other definitions for nimby that I've seen before include "One objecting to local developments" , "I don't want it near where I live" , "One not wanting local development (colloq.)" , "Self-interested objector to local development" , "person guarding his immediate environment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
