Plan for closed homeware shop to be turned into new licensed venue submitted
The deadline for residents to send representations is September 3, 2026.
The site of a closed homeware shop could be turned into a new licensed venue, following an application to Rotherham Council.
The Original Factory Shop closed in April, 2026, after entering administration in January.
Applicant Kevin Kenneth Smith has applied for council approval to sell alcohol at 102 High Street, in Maltby, Rotherham, every day of the week between 9am and 12.30am the following day.
He is asking to allow for ‘regulated entertainment indoors’ which includes approval for live music, plays, or film screenings, everyday between 9am and 1am the following day.
The licence may include late night refreshments every day of the week between 11pm and 1am the following day.
The deadline for residents to send representations in support or against the application is September 3, 2026.
