Place having little turning room (6)
I believe the answer is:
leeway
'room' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'place having little turning' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'lay' (synonyms).
'having' indicates putting letters inside.
'little' becomes 'wee' (similar in meaning).
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'wee' in reverse letter order is 'eew'.
'lay' enclosing 'eew' is 'LEEWAY'.
(Other definitions for leeway that I've seen before include "Give" , "Space for free movement" , "Drift to make up" , "Elbow room?" , "Limited room for manoeuvre" .)
