Meanwhile, plans for two supermarkets - less than two miles apart - have sparked interest from savvy shoppers.
An Aldi, Costa Coffee, drive thru takeaway and shops could be built near the Sheffield Wednesday ground.
The £25m scheme would transform derelict wasteland on Penistone Road, opposite the entrance to the Kop at SWFC.

Another well-known building is also on the list, the former NHS Health and Social Care complex on Woodfindin Road, Fulwood.
Dozens of people are concerned about plans to build 161 homes on the site, which includes mature trees protected by preservation orders, public rights of way, green belt and falls within Fulwood Conservation area.
All the buildings would be demolished bar the Edwardian Old Fulwood House – built in 1911 for a well-known local family who manufactured snuff – which would be converted.
