Baron99   751 #1 Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Apparently 700 hundred homes are to be built at Attercliffe Waterfront.  https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/star-comment-lets-see-some-more-enthusiasm-ps100m-attercliffe-scheme-2929822?amp#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From %1%24s  Attercliffe Waterfront? No me neither. It's land between the city centre & Meadowhall & the project appears to have stalled.  SCC have a preferred bidder / developer & an announcement was expected around a year ago.  Edited August 2, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not far from the famous Sheffield dockyard.  You can probably see the herds of Wildebeest from there or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alchresearch   191 #7 Posted August 3, 2020 Sounds like it will be great if it goes ahead. When I first moved to the North west I lived close to a derelict bit of land by the Leeds Liverpool canal.  Watching "Canal Boat Diaries" on BBC4 last night I was amazed to see there's now a thriving community and marina there.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Be My Bubble   0 #9 Posted August 3, 2020 Looks like we have goldfish for planners. Building next to rivers a few centuries ago was a good thing, now its the complete reverse. Should be be building anything within a kilometre of a waterway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The first thing potential property buyers should be checking / asking the developers or SCC is could you guarantee that I could get insurance cover for any flooding issues?

Canals are a lower flood risk than a river but they can overflow & cause flooding problems. Insurance companies would want to know how close a property is to a source of water, regardless of the type of water course, to assess whether cover is feasible.  As far as insurance companies are concerned, the closer you are to water, the more your premiums will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
