Objection over plans for new High Street cafe in Dinnington

Applicants propose to replace the glazed shop front with a panelled window and new door in the same position at the premises at 80, Laughton Road, Dinnington.

Applicants originally proposed to change the use of the property to a cafe and takeaway, but as the food will not be cooked on site, a change in use application was not needed.

If approved, the new cafe will provide 12 seats inside, and open Monday to Saturday, 8.30am until 4.30pm.

Dinnington Town Council objected to the scheme, stating that there are “far too many of this type of business” on the High Street.

No objections have been raised in respect to the alteration to the shop front.

Rotherham Council planning officers recommend that the scheme is approved at he next meeting of the planning board on January 12.
