PLANNING permission is being sought to turn a Grade II listed building into holiday accommodation.
The 3.26-acre site of Darley Cliffe Hall, on Kingwell Road, in Worsbrough, is the subject of the application.
The property consists of a large area of woodland, walled gardens and a Grade II listed main house.
It is accessible by two roads – one north from Old Sheffield Road which is also used by neighbouring properties and one south from Kingwell Road.
A report said: “The owner will organise grounds maintenance throughout the year to maintain the upkeep of the property.
“Cleaning services will be arranged between each stay. There will be ‘hotel-grade’ security systems and fire alarms installed for guest safety.
“The house will not be let to individuals per room as a hotel, instead the whole property will be let to one group of people.
“A group of people who know each other can let the property and will be collectively responsible in terms of safety, behaviour and use of the house. The house will be used to sleep, prepare meals, socialise and make use of the grounds.
“It is anticipated that traffic movement will not differ significantly from typical residential use. Though there could be more vehicles parking on the property, guests will not be coming and going at normal commuter times.”
Twelve neighbouring properties have been made aware of the plans with no appeals to date. Public consultation ends on Wednesday.
