The proposed external security shutters, as part of the replacement shop front, due to their design and materials is considered to be inappropriate in a Conservation Area and harms the character and appearance of the Rotherham Town Centre Conservation Area and the street scene of Corporation Street and the setting of the adjacent Grade II Listed Building.
