(3)  That the Planning Board declare that it was favourably disposed towards application RB2023/0829 and that it be granted on the grounds that the Council considers the proposed retail use to be acceptable, despite there being sequentially preferable sites in the Rotherham Town Centre, the scheme used an existing building and provided a facility for the local community and  generated employment.

In addition, it was noted that the scheme provided a replacement facility to the uses that were, until recently, carried out locally at Fosters Garden Centre across Doncaster Road (now closed down), and that this use was preferable to the authorised use of the site as a storage building, with associated traffic movements.

It was not considered necessary to restrict the goods sold within the unit, and considered that the other conditions attached to application RB2023/0827 should apply.

As such, the application was granted for the reasons adopted by Members at the meeting and subject to the relevant conditions listed below:-
