A play area has still not been opened, despite being completed more than three months ago.
Developers paid an estimated £40,000 on a play area as part of a 50-plus home estate off Jaywick Lane, Clacton.
But young families in Harpers Way have been unable to use it.
It is understood that Bloor Homes has been forced to reapply to the council for planning permission because of a mix-up over the age group it was built for.
Residents are divided on the issue, with some signing a petition asking Tendring Council to keep the park closed.
A spokesman for Bloor Homes said it hoped the park would be opened in October.
