carol1962 Â Â 10 #1 Posted May 4, 2014 I live in Crosspool and have just received a letter saying planning application submitted to demolish petrol station on manchester road (the dearest in sheffield) and replace it with retail premises. I can only assume thisis something like Tesco express or similar. I am in favour of this because Spar has no competition so they can charge what they want. What do you think?

Paddy   10 #2 Posted May 4, 2014 Looks like BP are wanting to takeover the site and refurbish it.  See this link for the planning application.  http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=N3JNDFNYFY000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not very good if your going over the Snake Pass considering it's the last one for over 20 miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
watchcoll   10 #4 Posted May 4, 2014 The planning info says demolition of the petrol station and building an A1 retail space. I'd bet money that's a little tesco or a little sainsburies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'd bet money that's a little tesco or a little sainsburies.  To my knowledge BP and Tesco have never done joint site working. Esso and Tesco have such as the one at Fulwood. Not sure who will run the shop part but I doubt it will be one of the main supermarkets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

peak4   277 #8 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Looks to me like the petrol station part will be replaced by a car park. i.e. no longer any fuel sales Existing site plan; http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/files/AB8676F1656CE056B08E5BD8FF51997A/pdf/14_01275_FUL-EXISTING_SITE_PLAN-768550.pdf  Proposed site plan; http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/files/A78C8A1097353BC56831C310A7D0B638/pdf/14_01275_FUL-PROPOSED_SITE_PLAN-768551.pdf  4 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 4.1 The proposed scheme comprises the demolition of the existing sales kiosk, canopy and pumps, and the erection of a new sales building together with 10 parking spaces (including one disabled space) and facilities for delivery vehicle parking. Provision for cycle parking and signage is also made on the site. 4.2 The new building extends to 354sqm GIA, with a sales area not exceeding 280sqm at ground floor level, and ancillary staff/storage facilities at first floor level. A small service yard containing plant and equipment is located to the rear. 4.3 The new building will be located towards the west of the site, to the side of the adjoining dwelling, in approximately the location of the existing kiosk. A new access would be created to the parking/delivery area which would be in the location of the existing forecourt. Existing footway crossovers would be reinstated and a knee rail provided along the site boundary. 4.4 At the current time there are no details of a prospective occupier, as discussions with several parties are continuing and are at a commercially sensitive stage. Given the style and format of the unit and the location of the site, however, it is anticipated that it will attract a general convenience store operator selling everyday items such as groceries, alcoholic and soft drinks, tobacco, and newspapers. The location would be attractive to an operator who would take advantage of trade from local residents living in Crosspool and nearby areas in the western part of Sheffield as well as pass-by traffic on the A57.

Paddy   10 #11 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I would have thought they'd keep the petrol station part as there aren't any others nearby? Edited May 4, 2014 by Paddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
s6chris   10 #12 Posted May 5, 2014 I would have thought they'd keep the petrol station part as there aren't any others nearby?  Well there's the Tesco/Esso at Nether Green and Cutlers on Northfield Rd, both of which always seem to be 2-3p a litre cheaper. Filled up at Crosspool once and never have since after discovering what a rip-off it is and I've never seen more than 4/5 cars in there at once, no wonder it's closing.  Thinking about it, if the new development doesn't involve a petrol station, that means for anyone travelling from Brook Hill to Manchester there wouldn't be a single fuel stop until Glossop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
