Rotherham Council agreed and rejected the application in June, saying the lack of appropriate parking was leading “unacceptable” overspill parking in the area. It also said the general increase in noise and disturbance was “an unacceptable nuisance”.
Mr Kemp has appealed this decision.
A submission to the Planning Inspectorate says six parking spots have now been secured at Thornton and Wood Ltd, Lidget Lane, in addition to the six at the site itself.
