Hundreds of residents in a village which has already doubled in size due to new housing have rallied together to protest against a further 300 new homes being built. Locals who live in Wharncliffe Side in Sheffield, South Yorks., say they have been left “traumatised” knowing that hundreds of homes are going to be built in the area on green belt land. Green belt land is a designated area of open countryside in major towns and cities in the UK and it is aimed at controlling urban growth.
