I believe the answer is:

nimby

(Other definitions for nimby that I've seen before include "person guarding his immediate environment" , "I don't want it near where I live" , "Somewhere else and I might not object!" , "'Not in my backyard' (abbrev.)" , "Someone prepared to have something built but only in another neighbourhood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
