Cornwall cliff collapse intensifies protests against housing development

express.co.uk

A massive cliff collapse near a luxury development in Cornwall has raised safety concerns and intensified protests against the project. Over 2,000 tonnes of rock fell at Whipsiderry Beach, a site where campaigners are fighting the construction of new homes due to the cliff's instability and previous landslides. The development, approved in 2007, has faced calls for its planning permission to be revoked. The incident follows previous collapses and ongoing erosion, leading to the project being put on hold. Campaigners are urging the council to withdraw the application, citing the unsafe conditions despite stabilization efforts.
