Vacant offices at Sheffield business park could be turned into adult day care centre

Sensation Day Services plans to change vacant offices at Suite 1, Churchills, Thorncliffe Business Park on Newton Chambers Road, into a day care centre for adults with physical and learning disabilities.

The centre is proposed to run from Monday to Saturdays, 8am to 6pm, with capacity for 15 users who will be looked after by four employees.

If the plans are approved by Sheffield Council, there will be six designated car parking spaces for the centre in an existing car park.

In a cover letter with the plans, a planning assistant for Freeths LLP, on behalf of Sensation Day Services, said: “The proposed day centre will bring the site back into use, complementing the business park’s diverse character and enhancing vitality.”

Currently, there are no comments from members of the public on the plans.
