Housing association plans 59 new homes in Sheffield
Proposals to build 59 canalside homes as part of regeneration plans for Attercliffe have been submitted to Sheffield City Council.
Housing association Places for People have submitted their plans to build 59 homes and create open space on a square plot of land off Ardmore Street, adjoining the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal.
The proposals are for 32 houses and three blocks comprising 27 apartments, plus associated parking.
The site was at one point used as a scrapyard and lies between the canal and Milton Chain Works.
A document supporting the proposal says: “The layout brings together three apartment buildings, offering a mix of one‑ and two‑bedroom units. Complementing these are a variety of two, three, and four‑bedroom houses.
“Collectively, this arrangement delivers a well‑balanced community, blending smaller apartments with larger family homes to cater for a diverse range of household needs.
Perimeter
“The apartments are grouped toward the centre of the site, while the houses form perimeter streets and short cul-de-sacs with private rear gardens.”
The overall plan for the area involves building up to 3,000 homes and creating 1,500 jobs in the city’s former industrial heartland in the Lower Don Valley.
It is now home to the Olympic Legacy Park, which incorporates iceSheffield, the English Institute of Sport, Hallam University’s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre and a University Technical College.
Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is building a world-leading National Centre for Child Health Technology there.
Work has already begun to improve transport links between Attercliffe, Darnall and the city centre. Other proposals include converting the former Adelphi Cinema into the centrepiece of a cultural hub.
