Police, councillors and residents raised safety, noise and traffic concerns over plans for an outdoor events venue in Greasbrough capable of hosting up to 3,000 people. Objections focused on the narrow and unlit access road, proximity to a chemical facility and risks from large crowds leaving at night. Supporters argued the site could offer community benefits. The applicant maintained that concerns related mostly to council‑managed highways and could be addressed through licence conditions. The proposal will be considered by Rotherham Council’s licensing sub‑committee on Tuesday.
