Row over new house in Cornwall on Constantine play area
Villagers fighting to save a children's play area have got their MP involved after being told a house is going to be built on top of it. Residents of Comfort Wartha in Constantine have been maintaining the patch of land since 1985, when a small cul de sac of eight houses was built. At the time a condition of the planning was that there would be an area of open space and play equipment, known as a Section 52 agreement. Crownmark Developments Ltd has now won on appeal an application to build a house on the land, at the end of the cul de sac between two houses.
