An MOT garage is set to be replaced by an apartment block in an upscale Sheffield neighbourhood.

The Champion and Emmett MOT garage at 337 Ecclesall Road South will be demolished and a four-storey block of eight flats built in its place.

The project is by Park Head Homes Ltd and includes flattening a residential garage to the rear and replacing it with a detached double garage and new two-storey extension at the rear of a semi-detached house at 335 Ecclesall Road South.

The project was approved in 2022. In November the firm applied to be allowed to do the demolition work without first meeting some of the conditions imposed on the project including details on the movement of construction vehicles, tree protection and a ground contamination survey. That application is awaiting a decision.

Meanwhile, a hoarding has gone up at the site, which is opposite a Morrisons Daily and close to a Miller and Carter steakhouse.

Records show there have been 14 applications for the site including for a petrol station and car wash in 1988, which was refused and a shop, which was refused in 2008, 2012 and 2014.
