    A UK village has been labelled "draconian" for its strict green-only door policy and a ban on takeaway restaurants.<\/p>\n

    From residents being told they must request permission from a special "village trust" to alter their home to the complete lack of supermarkets, Wentworth has unusual rules to preserve the architecture. <\/p>\n

    Doing so means banning neon signs, keeping the village in order with just one shop, two pubs and a restaurant, and making sure there is "no sense of urgency" running through the South Yorkshire spot.<\/p>\n

    The picture-perfect area, owned by a pair of aristocrats , attracts visitors constantly, and those who live there have warned the village is "kept in check", YorkshireLive reported.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    One local, wine merchant Matt Thompson, 43, said: "It\u2019s forced to be [traditional] because of the rules the estate has to abide by, everything has to be uniform.<\/p>\n

    "Hence all the \u2018Wentworth Green\u2019. I see it everybody \u2013 but yes people come in and say \u2018what a great village.'."<\/p>\n

    Where it may draw some comparisons to Hot Fuzz and the town council found in the fictional village of Sandyford, the people of Wentworth are adamant on their roots being preserved.<\/p>\n

    "They were born here and they'll die here," Matt said, and although he brought up some "draconian rules", it appears to have had an effect on the area. <\/p>\n
