RESIDENTS in the Woburn and Dunheved Fields parts of Launceston are up in arms, after learning Cornwall Council are looking to build new houses on amenity land in the area.

They were astonished to learn that only a handful of people had received notification, despite they said, it affecting a far more widespread area.
