The project is by Scotfield Group, the Leeds firm that brought Ikea to Sheffield, and called The Mirador.

It was also set to have 11 four-bed terraced houses and four commercial units.

The plot sits beside The Nichols Building, a former grocer's warehouse on Shalesmoor which is being turned into flats with a new block behind.

On the other side is empty space which Cassidy Group hopes to turn into a £90m, 900-bed development on Hoyle Street.
