Major Housing and Regeneration Projects in Sheffield


Recommended Posts


Sheffield City Council has recently approved several important housing and regeneration schemes. These projects aim to address housing needs and revitalise key areas in the city:

Attercliffe Waterside Project Begins

One of the key projects is the Attercliffe Waterside regeneration. The first phase has secured planning permission and will provide 362 new homes, commercial spaces, and public areas. Additionally, a footbridge over the canal will connect the new neighbourhood. The entire project will eventually deliver around 1,000 homes across three phases. This development represents a significant investment in Attercliffe, aiming to transform the area into a vibrant residential and commercial hub.

Cannon Brewery Site Transformation

In Neepsend, another major development has been approved. The former Cannon Brewery site will be transformed into a new neighbourhood. This project will include over 500 new homes, workspaces, and public spaces. Moreover, it’s part of a broader plan to create three new neighbourhoods in Neepsend and Furnace Hill, Moorfoot, and the area around Sheffield station. These neighbourhoods will feature affordable housing, public transport, healthcare facilities, and green spaces. They are designed to be inclusive and sustainable from the start.

Commitment to Affordable Housing

Sheffield City Council is also focusing on providing more affordable housing. Over the next five years, the council plans to build over 1,000 new council homes. New developments are already underway at Newstead and Bole Hill View. In addition to council homes, the council is working with housing associations like Great Places Housing Group. For example, they have replaced a former car sales forecourt on London Road with 51 new homes. These homes will be available for social rent, offering much-needed affordable housing in the city.

Tackling Homelessness

The council is also actively addressing homelessness. Sheffield has been selected as one of six cities in the UK to participate in the Homewards programme, led by HRH the Prince of Wales. This initiative aims to end homelessness. Councillor Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, has joined the International Mayor’s Council on Homelessness. This council allows Sheffield to share its progress and learn from other cities around the world.

A New 10-Year Housing Strategy

Sheffield City Council is developing a new Housing Strategy for the next ten years. This strategy aims to ensure all communities in Sheffield have access to homes and neighbourhoods that meet their needs. A public consultation on the strategy has just finished, and the council is now reviewing feedback from residents to finalise the plan.

 

Councillor Tom Hunt stressed the importance of these efforts: “A good, secure home is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s fundamental to having a happy and healthy life. Here in Sheffield, it’s a top priority for us to increase the number of new homes, particularly affordable homes. We are committed to bringing forward over a thousand new council homes in the next five years and continuing to increase affordable house building in the city.”
