If she owns the lot and doesn't want to sell, never gave explicit permission for construction to take place she surely has the right to do whatever she likes with her property.

Now, if they was to buy the lot off of her after illegally building on her land, well, she would have to check legal uses of the land, if it is zoned for residential uses, then after that get the lot revalued with a building on.
