New proposed greenfield housing sites in Sheffield, what do people think?

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Should the eastern fringe of Woodhouse have to bear the burden of over a third of the potential additional houses for the entire city?

 

Should our green open spaces be built on because developers dont want to use inner city brownfield sites?

 

Should the Council renege on its policy of protecting this area from development and jepodise the ongoing community based enviromental improvement programme ?

 

Should agricultural land be built on when more sustainable greenfield sites are available locally?

 

Please take time to look at what the Council is proposing for the area either on its website-www.sheffield.gov.uk/sdfconsult or paper copies at the library.A drop-in consultation event will take place at Woodhouse Library on Friday 3rd of February from 10- 12.30 and 1.30 - 7.30.

 

Dont let apathy rule,let your views be known (before 27 th of February) its your land and its your Council.

 

Thankyou shebba

 

 

 

Where else is there to build?

 

Anyway, Woodhouse is a marginal Lib Dem area. Labour will punish you for that transgression by reneging on every agreement possible. They'll build homes for their supporters on your doorstep until it becomes solid Labour.

Oh dear, it's a NIMBY.

 

IIRC upto last November there were around 93,000 applicants on the housing waiting lists. Building houses is the ONLY way to get this figure down.

 

How about this for an alternate plan.

 

The council build on those inner-city plots you mention and then we relocate the residents of Woodhouse into those, including you.

These plans affect me not one iota, but I still think that brownfield sites should be used for building before any greenfield sites are used.

 

 

Now whether there are brownfield sites in Sheffield which are suitable for housing, rather than only for industrial developments, I do not know.

Better in Woodhouse than somewhere nice.

If you look at the plans, you'll find that the council is planning to build houses and light industry in several areas of Sheffield, not just in Woodhouse.

I consider 310 homes in one square kilometer of the 1075 proposed for the whole city (approx 360 square kilometers) to be an unfair allocation.

The governments election policy "A house is not for life" requires tenants to move on when their circumstances change. I have not seen one example of this which would free hundreds of houses from single person occupation.

 

Building new homes, who for? People are leaving the city because of the lack of jobs. We need to be very clear on the purpose of new homes to build the economy not a sticking plaster fix for now. The houses need to be built in areas that have seen Eurpean money to build new industry before the recession and to make proper use of those new facilites which have been left for years unused.

Looking at the plans I think it's a bad idea. There's already been significant development in this area with no upgrade to the road infrastructure.

Isn't this thread on the same consultation?

Having looked, in the most part it seems like a relatively sensible plan. Its existence means that the council is able to refuse applications submitted for other greenfield sites which might be even less desirable.
