Plans have been submitted to Sheffield Council for the demolition of buildings where Champion and Emmett car repairs and maintenance MOT garage is, on Ecclesall Road, to make way for new apartments.

“The development site is located in an existing, established residential community. The scheme will further enhance the range of residential units on offer in the area and will strengthen the cohesion of the existing community.

“A key sustainable objective for developments is to ‘create safe environments where crime and disorder or fear of crime does not undermine quality of life or community cohesion’.

So far there have been no comments on the plans from members of the public.
