Fresh plans to develop old social club site into housing in Sheffield

The Peggy Tub in Stocksbridge closed in 2015 as business slowed down.

Two years ago, Coda Planning was given permission to create 10 townhouses on the site.

Now Coda, along with Sky-House Co, has come up with new plans for seven three-bedroom townhouses, all with their own terraces and parking spaces, on the site of the former club in New Road.

Architects at Coda have created the latest phase of the Sky-House concept specifically for the site, which is close to Fox Valley shopping park, and will put in a new planning application.

Sky-House’s 21st Century take on back-to-back housing creates ‘sensitively dense, beautiful and naturally eco-friendly homes complete with their signature roof gardens, terraces and expansive windows’.

David Cross, Sky-House co-founder, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the phenomenal response to Sky-House and delighted at the way the concept is now spreading throughout South Yorkshire.

“Sky-House is already coming to the former British Tissues site in Oughtibridge and we are really pleased to see this second smaller site in Stocksbridge going before the planners.

“We believe these final plans provide the best possible use for the site, bringing much needed new housing stock for this growing and increasingly popular north Sheffield community.”
