Someone against development in their own area (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nimby

(Other definitions for nimby that I've seen before include "One objecting to local developments" , "'Not in my backyard' (abbrev.)" , "Someone prepared to have something built but only in another neighbourhood" , "Acronym for not in my back yard" , "Somewhere else and I might not object!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
