HOMES planned for green space at a large Plymouth estate which residents are trying to protect will be determined by the city council's planning committee, not officers, it has been confirmed.
The plan for five affordable homes at Wilmot Gardens, on council land between Crownhill and Honicknowle, is controversial as residents say it is the only green space where children can play. The scheme also involves felling ash trees.
Claims by Crownhill Local Residents Association (CLARA) that the city council is ignoring their views were refuted by Cllr Chris Penberthy, cabinet member for housing, this week.
He said the 41 letters of objection would be taken in account when the application is considered. He was responding to questions by group members who attended a meeting of the council's cabinet.
