Does anyone know what is being built at the bottom of Cemetary Rd. - on the corner by the Waitrose garage. They've put a tower crane up over the weekend so I'm assuming it's going to be big

I'll go out on a limb and guess luxury flats ?

Yep, luxury flats over looking Waitrose carpark - you can't get more luxurious than that!

The irony will be that the people in the council block behind it are in exactly the same possition for about a tenth of the cost.

And you obvioulsy haven't seen the proposals for the ones overlooking the loading bay of the Sheaf Market, THAT is luxury.

Thanks for the replies. I'd guessed that it was going to be flats. They seem to be going up everywhere in Sheffield.

They have to replace all the ones the council demolished because no-one wanted to live in them and they looked cheap and unsightly.

And the Cemetary Road ones will have the distant echo of the recycling bins being emptied in the carpark every week - that's got to be worth an extra couple of grand on the asking price!

Yes, new flats - was driven past there quite a few times whilst out and about.

Just think how many flats they could have built if they'd knocked 4 Psalter Lane down - however, it's listed and therefore SCC cannot have modern flats built on the land that it is on!
