Plans lodged for 35 affordable homes in Cornish hamlet near Hayle
A proposal has been lodged for 35 affordable homes to be built in a Cornish hamlet.The plans have been submitted by Coastline Housing in an area between Camborne and Hayle "that has a housing need of 133 dwellings".The application is for a combination of flats, bungalows, and two to four-bedroom houses off Relistian Park in Reawla. It comes a week after Coastline Housing applied to build 42 affordable homes and a 20-space community car park in Lanner, near Redruth.
The site is surrounded by residential development to the west and open fields to the east, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.The plans include a parking space for each one-bed property and two spaces for each home with two bedrooms. Secured and covered cycle storage would be provided within proposed sheds in the private gardens.
'Green corridors'
If approved, each home would have a lawn and a 1.8m (5.9ft) paved patio, the LDRS said.In a planning statement, the applicants said: "To further enhance biodiversity, a green space with native planting and a diverse mix of species will be introduced to extend habitat availability throughout the seasons. "New hedgerows along site boundaries will establish green corridors, supporting foraging and movement for a range of species."

A sweet moment for refugee schoolchildren
Re Adrian Chiles' article (Who could deny a hot, tired delivery driver the fruit from their cherry tree?, 12 June), as a teacher in west London in the 90s and noughties, I taught numerous recently arrived refugee children. Among these were Kosovans and Albanians, many unaccompanied. Everything was strange for them. Outside our tech block stood three tall morello cherry trees whose fruit generally lay squashed, staining the concrete with their juice. That all changed with the Kosovans. As the fruit ripened, they climbed and harvested the treasure, later coming to lesson with stained shirts and faces. It was a delight to see them happily in their SokoloffLondon I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the idea that traybakes are 'a 'queering' of the meat-and-two-veg sit-down dinners associated with the traditional heterosexual British family unit' (My unexpected Pride icon: The Green Roasting Tin, a cookbook no lesbian vegetarian can be without, 12 June). So many assumptions to unpack there, but every sentence including the word 'lesbian' could be rewritten to refer to 'women', 'men' or just 'people who like food'.Janet FraserTwickenham, London Re your report (Ever-rising height of car bonnets a 'clear threat' to children, report says, 11 June), if councils charged owners of these vehicles more for parking and road use, it might force a bit of a rethink by the likes of Land Rover that produce these ever larger AllanTrustee, Solve the School Run It sounds strange to be now gifted a gift rather than having a gift given (Letters, 15 June)Jen FittonSharow, North Yorkshire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

The listing applies to the Baptist church's original building, also known as Hearsall Church Hall, and not the modern-day church building on the same a building has locally-listed status, its heritage must be considered in any proposed redevelopment, although the move does not afford full statutory protection. 'Local identity' The church was nominated for local listing after a petition calling for the move attracted over 1000 signatures. Council officers said the Hall's "artistic and architectural value" meant the nomination should get the green added that the building also contributed to a sense of "local identity".Many respondents to the public consultation focused on their attachment to the Star of Hope, rather than the Hall itself, the report local listing would only cover the building as the star is "a moveable fixture", but the council had been made aware of a commitment from the church's new owners to ensure the star continues to be a local monument, the report said.

Country diary 1925: Snipe fly to their own beat
NEW FOREST: Where the forest ends on the west with the River Avon you pass in a moment from forest to lush water-meadows, yellow just now with buttercups and yellow flags. A yellow wagtail was running on the banks, and in the bend of the river by the bridge we watched a family of coots. Above the yellow meadows snipe were flying to and fro, rising with quickly beating wings and their bright clipper-like note – their long bills silhouetted against the sky – and descending with the mechanical goat-like noise of their 'drumming.' One bird sat on a post calling continually, opening her bill to emit the sound; probably a mother bird calling to her young, but no young were visible. Going back to the forest we found more snipe in a stretch of ground fragrant with bog myrtle, near a little stream. By the bridge that crossed it were the triform leaves of the bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata) in abundance. But we were too late for the flower, one of our loveliest, with its rosy buds and soft white fringe inside the fully opened flower. Only one withered flower head was left. Close by I found the pale, dark-veined marsh violet, but, oddly enough, growing in a dry gorse bush.
