A RESIDENTS' committee is refusing to drop the fight against a development for up to 175 homes in their village.

Barugh Residents Against New Development (BRAND) group is determined to stop a Barratt Homes development at Low Barugh dead in its tracks.

The developer has now submitted a full planning application for the site - on fields behind Dearne Hall Road and Claycliffe Road - after outline proposals by Commercial Estates Projects and Hallam Land Management were given the go-ahead in January last year.
