Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (Rotherham Council) is the unitary local authority for the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. It delivers statutory local services and governance, including spatial planning and building control; environmental health and licensing; waste and recycling; highways and transport; housing; education and social care; and public health.
For industry, the council is the consenting and enforcement body for local planning applications, Part B environmental permits and inspections under Local Authority Pollution Prevention and Control (LAPPC), nuisance control, contaminated land management, and local air quality management. It sets local planning policy (the Local Plan) and advises on land use around hazardous installations in line with national guidance, working with the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency. The authority also undertakes economic development and regeneration with regional partners in the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, supporting an area that includes significant manufacturing and advanced materials activity, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Park.
