About this application
This is a planning application at 2 Clifton Bank Clifton 0002. Rotherham has handled 2,496 applications of this type. This one was decided in 49 days. The site is in the Rotherham Town Centre conservation area, with 1 listed building nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 107 applications across Boston Castle Ward. We hold 116 applications in total for the S60 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed change of use from a dwellinghouse (Use Class C3a) to a children's home (Use Class C2) is unacceptable due to its location within an area experiencing high levels of crime and anti-social behaviour. As a result, the proposal would fail to provide a safe and suitable environment for vulnerable children and would be detrimental to their health, wellbeing and welfare. The development is therefore contrary to Policies CS27 and SP55 of the Rotherham Local Plan and the relevant provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
