1. A strong economy with good job opportunities available to the whole community

0

0 Offices would provide a significant employment opportunity in the City Centre that can help to meet employment land requirements by 2021. Any residential or retail/leisure uses supplementary to offices would reduce the percentage of office space on the site but could help bring forward development.

2. Education and training opportunities which build the skills and capacity of the population

0 0 0 Any additional housing is unlikely to attract families with children and cause capacity problems in local schools.

3. Decent housing available to everyone (including vulnerable people and disadvantaged groups)

0 0 Office allocation allows up to 40% of gross floorspace to be residential.

4. Conditions and services which engender good health

X 0 0 Any residential use would be close to late night venues with associated noise.

5. Safety and security for people and property

0 0 Any residential use would be on a site adjoining a Central Housing Area and a Supertram stop, so there is no issue relating to isolation. Any safety issue, or perceived issue, would be from people late at night and under the influence of alcohol.

6. Good cultural, leisure and recreation facilities available to all

In the heart of the city’s regional offer for cultural, leisure and recreation facilities.

7. Land use patterns that minimise the need to travel or which promote the use of sustainable forms of transport

In the heart of the city and next to a Supertram stop. Office and any residential, retail or leisure development here would minimise the need to travel and promote tram use.

8. An efficient transport network which maximises access and minimises detrimental impacts

Possible uses would increase public transport passenger numbers.

9. Efficient use of land which makes good use of previously developed sites and buildings

Currently very underused land. There is a small single story building but the majority is surface level car parking.

10. A quality built environment Development would significantly improve the heart of the city.

11. Historic environment protected and enhanced

Development would remove a predominantly derelict site from the City Centre Conservation Area. It would improve the setting of the listed buildings adjacent on three sides of the site and in particular the Grade II* listed City Hall.

12. Quality natural landscapes maintained and enhanced

0 0 0

13. Wildlife and important geological sites conserved

0 0 0

14. Soil resources conserved 0 0 0

15. Water resources protected and enhanced

0 0 0

16. Air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions minimised and a managed response to the effects of climate change

The possible uses in a central location and adjacent to a Supertram stop would encourage some increase in the use of sustainable transport modes.

17. Minimal risk to human life and property from flooding

18. Prudent and efficient use of energy and mineral resources

Adjacent City Hall and nearby Fountain Precinct connected to District Heating (CS65) from Balm Green.

19. Minimal production of waste and the reuse, recycling and recovery of waste maximised

Commercial and residential schemes to enable effective recycling (policy G10i).

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Development would be on previously developed land next to infrastructure such as the District Heating and Supertram network.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Offices, and any additional residential, retail or leisure use as part of a mixed-use scheme, will be centrally located and adjacent to major infrastructure such as District Heating and Supertram. This will help reduce the need to travel, encourage sustainable means of transport and the use of renewable energy. Development on underused previously developed land will provide job creation. The only potential issue is late night noise for any residential use.

Mitigation Measures Required Any residential development will require design and materials to insulate against late night noise. However, in this part of the city centre, it is partly a question of choice where people will feel the locational benefits outweigh the negatives. Any housing is unlikely to contribute significantly to capacity problems for local education or health but would require some developer contributions and/or funding.

0 0 0 Potential for some housing on the south site restricted by high probability flood zone. The smaller north site does not have the same flood risk and is in a more attractive position for housing. Any additional housing may cause capacity problems for local schools but can be resolved by developer contributions and/or funding1.


0 0 Some residential possible as part of a mixed use office led scheme, or a scheme where the south site is offices and the north site is residential.


X 0 0 Next to the inner ring road and gateway location for the city centre so air and noise pollution from traffic.


0 0 0


The site is in the city centre and opposite a large indoor sports facility and close to existing and proposed open spaces.


City centre location so within walking distance of other city centre buildings. 500m to Midland train station is 500m, 300m to the bus and coach station and 100m to a Supertram stop.




Both sites previously developed. North site used for surface level car parking. South site vacant and grassed over.

10. A quality built environment Development will contribute significantly to gateway location (CS75c) which is highly visible from inner ring road and Supertram. The north site will contribute to the setting of a new open space (P00475) and the regeneration of Castlegate (P00044) following the relocation of the market. Development will also strengthen the link between Victoria Quays and the rest of the city centre (CS17i).


Not in a conservation area but development would enhance the setting of adjacent listed buildings.

XX Offices would provide a significant employment opportunity in the City Centre that can help to meet employment land requirements by 2026. The site is an awkward shape and maybe difficult to develop. Alternatively it is adjacent to Sheffield Hallam University who may seek to expand their campus (CS20).

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Development would be on previously developed land near to major infrastructure such as the railway, Supertram and District Heating network.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses B1, 1 or D1 use would provide a significant employment opportunity in the city centre. The location of the site would increase the need to travel, and therefore increase emissions and air pollution. Development would involve use of a previously developed site that has not substantially re-vegetated, therefore ensuring efficient use of land. The proposed use would lead to a significant improvement to the quality of the local built environment, and would provide an opportunity for efficient use of existing physical infrastructure. Prudent and efficient use of energy will be possible on the site. As it is in the city centre, it could be connected to the District Heating Scheme, and adopted Core Strategy policies CS64 and CS65 require sustainable design and the use of renewable energy. Due to the sites proximity to the ring road, air pollution is likely to increase as a result of development. Offices, hotel or university uses would be centrally located and close to major infrastructure such as train, bus and coach stations, Supertram and the District Heating network. This will help reduce the need to travel, encourage sustainable means of transport and the use of renewable energy. Development on prominent vacant previously developed land will provide job creation.

District Heating network is available from Wellington Street and Barkers Pool (CS65).



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Development would be on previously developed land close to infrastructure such as the District Heating and Supertram network.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The New Retail Quarter is the most important site in the regeneration of the city centre. It has a vital role in increasing the offer of the city centre at a regional level. Without it shopping in the city centre will continue to suffer in relation to other cities and less sustainable locations such as Meadowhall. Retail and leisure uses and residential use will benefit from a central location and being close to major infrastructure such as District Heating and Supertram. This will help reduce the need to travel, encourage sustainable means of transport and the use of renewable energy. The negative impacts are the loss of listed buildings and potential disturbance to residents from late night noise.

Mitigation Measures Required The loss of Listed Buildings cannot be mitigated against and consent was granted on the grounds of exceptional regeneration benefits. However, the design will pay regards to the setting of the City Centre Conservation Area and the remaining and adjacent listed buildings. Residential development will require design and materials to insulate against late night noise. However, in this part of the city centre, it is partly a question of choice where people will feel the locational benefits outweigh the negatives. Any housing is unlikely to contribute significantly to capacity problems for local education or health but would require some developer contributions and/or funding.

Retail of bulky goods typically relies on car trips. Maybe a slight increase in public transport use in comparison with out of centre locations. More likely that there are more joint shopping trips and that journey distances are reduced by central location. Offices would minimise the need to travel and promote the use of sustainable modes of transport.


X A Retail Warehouse will increase city centre traffic, although primarily out of peak times e.g. journeys to work. Location close to inner ring road. Offices would increase public transport passenger numbers.


Continued Retail Warehouse but more concentrated use proposed. Offices would be on previously developed land and would allow for greater density of development.

10. A quality built environment X Improvements to the built environment can be made by redevelopment of existing Retail Warehouse. However a warehouse and associated car parking are generally at odds with the design objectives of the city centre. Offices would offer more potential for improvement and sit better alongside the surrounding office and residential developments.


0 0 No immediate impact on historic environment.

0 Retail Warehouse use encourages car trips but is a more sustainable location for such use in comparison with out of centre alternatives. Offices in a central location would encourage some increase in the use of sustainable transport modes.



Wickes is not connected to the District Heating network but there is a pipeline available from Young Street (CS65).



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Development would be on previously developed land close to infrastructure such as the District Heating and inner ring road.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Retail Warehouse is proposed as part of a cluster of such uses to support the adjacent Central Shopping Area. Linked trips and central location will lessen the impact of a use reliant on car journeys. Inherent design issues are the main impact.

Mitigation Measures Required Design considerations such as street entrances integrating development with Central Shopping Area and attractive frontages and boundary treatments.

Retail of bulky goods typically relies on car trips. Maybe a slight increase in public transport use in comparison with out of centre locations. More likely that there are more joint shopping trips and that journey distances are reduced by central location. Offices would minimise the need to travel and promote the use of sustainable modes of transport.


X A Retail Warehouse will increase city centre traffic, although primarily out of peak times e.g. journeys to work. Location close to inner ring road. Offices would increase public transport passenger numbers.


Continued Retail Warehouse but more concentrated use proposed. Offices would be on previously developed land and would allow for greater density of development.

10. A quality built environment 0 At a prominent location on the inner ring road. Improvements to the built environment can be made by redevelopment of existing Retail Warehouse. In particular by opening the culvert and taking advantage of the riverside setting. However this is counter balanced by a warehouse and associated car parking being generally at odds with the design objectives of the city centre. Offices would offer more potential for improvement.

Mothercare, Staples and Deacon House are not connected to the District Heating network but there is a pipeline available from Young Street (CS65).



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Development would be on previously developed land close to infrastructure such as the District Heating and inner ring road.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Retail Warehouse is proposed as part of a cluster of such uses to support the adjacent Central Shopping Area. Linked trips and central location will lessen the impact of a use reliant on car journeys. Opportunity to open up the culvert and make more of the riverside setting could counter balance the inherent design issues. Flood risk is the main negative impact.

Mitigation Measures Required Mitigation of flood risk, including flood protection measures and design for resilience to flooding, will be required. This can be combined with the opportunity make more of the riverside setting.

0 Would provide smaller scale employment uses which would provide some local job creation outside priority areas in district centres, on high frequency public transport routes or close to Supertram stops.


0 0 0 Site is not needed for a new school, training or education facilities. Proposal is not for housing development (i.e. school capacity is not an issue). However, additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools; this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.


0 0 0 Proposal is not for residential use. However the site would provide a good opportunity to develop new housing adjacent to an existing residential area. Residential development could deliver a high proportion of family homes.


X 0 X 0 Industrial development would be located within 200m of an existing residential area, which could have implications for health depending on the specific nature of industrial activity and design of development. Residential development would be adjacent to a mix of operational industrial uses. However wider health risks would depend on the specific nature of operations in this factory.


0 0 0 No impact on safety or security for industrial uses. Residential uses would be on a site adjoining an existing Housing Area and site is close to a high frequency public transport route (i.e. limited likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night).


0 0 0 Proposed use does not affect a local park or provision of recreation space. Residential uses within 400m of a local park or within 1200m of a District Park. Residential uses would be located within 400m from a railway station, Supertram route or high frequency bus route linking the site directly to the City Centre or other cluster of built leisure uses.


0 Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a District Centre or 80% within 800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day). Offices located around transport interchanges at Meadowhall, Hillsborough and Crystal Peaks, or 80% within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day or 800m of a Supertram stop. General Industry and Warehousing located more than 3km from the Motorway and not on a Strategic Road (although the site is near to a strategic road).


0 Proposed use would provide some increase in passenger numbers on a public transport route where there is spare capacity. Proposed use could have minor negative impact on access to the City Centre, District Centre or Priority Economic Regeneration Areas (Upper Don Valley, Lower Don Valley, Central Riverside) (e.g. by increasing traffic) or could have minor detrimental impacts elsewhere but likely that problems could be overcome at planning application stage.


X Involves reuse of a previously developed site that has re-vegetated with some remaining buildings for but which is not being put to any beneficial use.

0 0 0 0 Development on the site would have no impact on how energy or resources are used OR would depend on specific design of new development.


0 0 0 0

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure

0 Development would be on (mainly) previously developed land within the urban area where infrastructure is highly likely to be available.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Positive indicators for all possible uses show a previously developed site, located close to a high frequency bus route, and close to a district centre. Housing development could be a potential land use as it adjoins an existing housing area and would reuse vacant land. However, new housing would be very close to a mixture of existing industrial uses that have the potential to be noisy and are likely to continue in some form here. Also access to this area for residential uses would be via the industrial area. Adjoining industrial uses may have to control noise/operating hours and any other emissions to protect the amenity of new housing and/or the new housing may need additional design features to mitigate impact from adjoining industry. Employment uses would sit alongside existing employment uses and be less likely to conflict. Employees would benefit for access to good public transport. Negative indicators are concerned with the impact of industrial uses and traffic generation within the adjoining area. Mitigation Measures Required Users of the site should be encouraged to use public transport and have a viable travel plan. Buffer areas between new uses and existing housing should be included as part of any proposal.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses There are no negative impacts for this site for the allocated use; it would serve well for employment uses, although ’no development’ could reduce positive opportunities for employment which could be gained through development. In terms of access, the site would be slightly more suitable for office uses than for industrial uses it is close to a tram stop and to a high frequency bus route. However, it is not within one of the key areas where offices are preferred, and for industry and warehousing uses it is some way from the motorway and strategic road. Mitigation Measures Required Although close to a Supertram stop, access to this stop would need to be improved if offices (or other development with a significant workforce) were developed on the site – to ensure that full use could be made of this. Some measures may be needed to address impact of HGVs on the local road network for industry/warehousing uses.

Efficient use of previously developed land, but uses which encourage the use of the private car or lead to increased HGV movements could have a negative impact on the local road network, however, the site is very close to the Parkway which would provide good road access for industrial or warehousing uses. Mitigation Measures Required The site is close to a Supertram stop, pedestrian access to this stop would need to be improved if offices (or other development with a significant workforce) were developed on the site – to ensure that full use could be made of this. Increased public transport from residential areas would benefit disadvantaged groups.

General Industry and Warehousing would be located on a strategic road and within 3km of the Motorway


XX X 0 Employment use could have major negative impact on access to the Lower Don Valley by increasing traffic. Large scale development would need special traffic mitigation measures.


X Involves use of a previously developed site that has not substantially re-vegetated or conversion of buildings Not developing this site would be a wasted opportunity to use previously developed land in an existing industrial area


0 Proposed use could lead to some improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. through redevelopment of a site which is not derelict but contributes little to townscape








0 All of this site is previously developed and is likely to Development would result in significant reclamation of contaminated land (>5.0ha where there has been a previous industrial use)




XX X 0 Depending on final use, and the scale of development, proposed uses could significantly harm air quality (e.g. by encouraging a significant increase in road traffic, especially as the site is close to the motorway and bus routes area limited to this site.)








0 Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area where infrastructure is highly likely to be available.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The key sustainability aims which are important to this site are to do with its location. Although located within a priority regeneration area in the Lower Don Valley, it has access to bus routes that are limited. Although it is on a main road to the motorway there is poor pedestrian access to other areas. In addition to this, because it is a large site any use that generates large amounts of traffic or uses large HGVs there is potential to add to problems of air quality in the area. However, redevelopment of this site would be beneficial in terms of making efficient use of previously developed land which is in an existing employment area. The site would be very good for industrial uses but will also be highly attractive for warehousing that highly dependant on the road transport network due to its location adjacent to the M1 with good national access. Mitigation Measures Required It is likely that this site could be made significantly more accessible by public transport as uses which create a large number of job opportunities could equally create public transport demand. It is difficult to envisage development of this site without some impact on the

motorway junction and on air quality from traffic (either the car or HGV movements).For industrial and warehousing mitigation methods will be concentrated on reducing the traffic impact. A viable travel plan will assist in developing alternatives. Further advice is needed on air quality issues arising from development of this site given that it has been in large scale industrial use in the past. Affordable transport and access to training initiatives could assist disadvantaged groups. Could provide additional employment opportunities in an area with high BME concentration.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site would provide employment opportunities in an economic priority area. However, there are major flood risk concerns for any development of this site; this will constrain the amount of site area available for built development. Any development would benefit from its good accessibility and it would be an efficient use of a previously developed site. Alternative development could offer opportunities to address contamination issues from the existing/previous uses of this site. Care would need to be taken not to adversely affect the environment of the River which is a nature conservation area, and the areas of identified archaeological importance. Efficient use of previously developed land, but uses which encourage the use of the private car or lead to increased HGV movements could have a negative impact on the local road network. Development could have an impact on historic and natural environment. Mitigation Measures Required Further study may be needed of the measures needed to mitigate flood risk and to deal with uncovered archaeology. Users should be encouraged to use public transport to reduce additional impact on the local road network from use of the private car (have a viable travel plan).

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site is part of a comprehensive solution to broaden housing provision within Darnall as part area regeneration. This site together with the Kettlebridge school (now derelict and under threat), and the Ouseburn Road opens space (which is severely abused and neglected) form a package of sites that together is promoted for housing development as part of HMR. This site offers the opportunity to bring together and develop a degraded and abused area. It is close to existing housing areas and a good bus route. It is regarded as an important site for the regeneration of Darnall as part of the HMR Neighbourhood Development Framework. Mitigation Measures Required Although the Ouse Rd site is revegetated, and development in isolation is not very sustainable, it is felt that the regeneration benefits arising from likely spin off benefits to the surrounding area could form the basis of a case for sustainable development of this site. Any development package will include measures to protect the nature conservation area.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Site is located within a well established residential area and within walking distance of local facilities. Development will make efficient use of a previously developed site, within a regeneration area, and provide an opportunity to improve the built environment. However, the site is not close to the district centre and high frequency bus routes which would impact on those without personal transport and could increase the use of the private car Mitigation Measures Required Mitigation measures could explore improvement of public transport routes and timings via Darnall centre to this site to encourage users to use public transport as part of a viable travel plan. Pedestrian routes toward district centre and main bus routes be made more attractive to encourage use.

0 0 Use would have no significant direct impact on provision of job opportunities in the priority areas identified above.




0 Residential development likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes


X 0 Residential use would be close to (within 200m but not adjoining) a source of noise or other pollution


0 Residential uses would be on a site adjoining an existing Housing Area and site adjoins either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. limited likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


0 Residential uses within 1200m of a District Park and 400m of a local park




0 Proposed use would provide some increase in passenger numbers on a public transport route where there is spare capacity (high frequency)


X X Involves development of a site that is part previously developed and part greenfield. Not developing would leave a long term vacant site

10. A quality built environment X Proposed use would lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. by removing derelict land or buildings or converting buildings Not developing would leave a substantially degraded site that encourages abuse


0 0 Development would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or area of industrial heritage


0 0 Development could have some positive effect on attractiveness of natural environment (e.g. landscaping of new development on a derelict site)



14. Soil resources conserved X 0 Development could result in some soil pollution (e.g. development on greenfield land) but only on part of the site








0 0 Would depend on specific design of new development



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure 0 Development would be on a partially greenfield sites within the urban area where some level of infrastructure should already exist

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Site is very sustainable for residential use, being well located with good access by public transport, and within walking distance of the district centre. Whilst some negative impacts are recorded against the partial Greenfield status of the site, development will make efficient use of a much degraded previously partially developed site, within a regeneration area, and provide an opportunity to improve the built environment. Mitigation Measures Required Encouragement for residents to make full use of public transport. Landscaping to the boundary of the site where it meets High Hazels Park to improve the visual appearance of the site, and the park boundary.

0

Development would be on a previously developed site in the main urban area

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A potential negative impact on air quality for development at this site, but ‘no development’ could reduce positive opportunities for employment which could be gained through development. In terms of access, the site would be slightly more suitable for industrial uses than for office uses, as it isn’t within one of the key areas where offices are preferred. The site is very close to the Parkway which would provide good road access for industrial or warehousing uses, and waste management uses. It is also located close to other waste transfer uses and therefore co-location opportunities may arise. It is close to supertram and high frequency bus routes for other travel. Mitigation Measures Required Although close to a Supertram stop, access to this stop would need to be improved if offices (or other development with a significant workforce) were developed on the site, to ensure that full use could be made of this. Increased public transport from residential areas would benefit disadvantaged groups. Waste management uses tend to have a poor visual presentation ,some attention to screening where appropriate would be needed

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site is vacant land that was formally the site of a gas holder. The site provides an employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and will help to meet employment land requirements in the short-term. Development of the site would involve the reuse of previously developed land and the site is located close the Penistone Road dual carriageway which is a strategic route. Development of this site would provide the opportunity for more attractive buildings in an area surrounded by vacant and derelict land. ‘No development’ could reduce positive opportunities that could be gained through development. The site would be most suitable for a light industrial development. Mitigation Measures Required Remediation of part of the site is complete, but removal of the gas holder is dependent on funding. Access and the approach to the site may need to be improved. A Travel Plan could be produced and workers encouraged to use public transport.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site provides an employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term. However, the site is not very well located for employment uses with large numbers of employees as there is poor public transport access. Development for employment uses would involve the use of a previously developed site but the site could be contaminated as a result of the former industrial use. Development of this site would provide the opportunity for more attractive buildings in an area surrounded by vacant and derelict land. ‘No development’ could reduce positive opportunities that could be gained through development. The site would be most suitable for industrial/light industrial development. Mitigation Measures Required Contamination issues on the site may need to be investigated further particularly in the case of future business development. Bridging the River Don from Middlewood Road to Clay Wheels Lane would greatly improve access to the Clay Wheels Lane area and also help to relieve congestion in other parts of the valley. There is a significant amount of vacant and derelict land and buildings in the area surrounding Clay Wheels Lane and a coordinated approach should be considered for the regeneration of the whole area.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses It is located on Herries Road South just off the Penistone Road dual carriageway, which is a high frequency public transport route. This site provides an employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the short-term. There is limited negative effect of any of the options for development of this former industrial site, although ‘no development’ could reduce positive opportunities which could be gained through development. Industrial uses could result in some soil pollution but the land could already have some contamination issues due to possible former industrial use. The site would be most suitable for industrial/light industrial development. Mitigation Measures Required The site is in a medium- high probability flood risk area and therefore flood mitigation measures may be required.

Development of B2/B8 uses would be on a greenfield site where there is unlikely to be existing infrastructure. No development would not have an impact on physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site provides the opportunity for employment development in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term. However, it is a greenfield site and this will have a negative impact in terms of the use of previously developed land and buildings. B2 uses could have a detrimental impact on nearby housing on Binstead Way. In terms of accessibility, the site is located close to Herries Road so would be suitable for B2/B8 uses, but it is more than 400m from Penistone Road which is a high frequency public transport route which makes it less suitable for B1 offices. The site would be most suitable for non office business development – B1b, B1c and B8. Mitigation Measures Required Access and the approach to the site may need to be improved. A Travel Plan could be produced to support the planning application.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses There is limited negative effect of any of the options for development of this former industrial site, although ‘no development’ could reduce positive opportunities which could be gained through development. In terms of accessibility the site is located close to Penistone Road but is in primarily an industrial location and one of the site boundaries is Parkwood Road which is the main access to the landfill tip. Industrial uses could result in some soil pollution but the land is likely to have some contamination issues due to the previous use as a gas works site. Due to its size, the site could provide a large employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term. Mitigation Measures Required Contamination issues on the site will need to be further investigated. There is currently planning permission on the site for investigation and remediation of the former gas works and this work has been partly completed. Although the site is close to public transport links,

access and the approach to the site may need to be improved. A travel plan could be produced and employees encouraged to use public transport.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses There is limited negative effect of any of the options for development of this former industrial site, although ‘no development’ could reduce positive opportunities which could be gained through development. In terms of accessibility the site is located close to Penistone Road which is a high frequency transport route. Industrial uses could result in some soil pollution but the land is likely to have some contamination issues due to the previous industrial use. The site could provide an employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the short-term. The site is most suitable for industrial/light industrial use. Mitigation Measures Required Possible land contamination issues will need to be further investigated. The site is in a high probability flood risk area and therefore flood mitigation measures may be required.

C3 use would have no direct impact on provision of jobs. B2 would provide employment opportunity in the UDV, which is a Priority Economic Regeneration Area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term (5-10 years). No development would not have a direct impact on the provision of job opportunities.


0 0

C3 use should not result in capacity of schools being exceeded but there could be a problem if other sites in the same area are also developed for housing. This may result in the need for a financial contribution. Site is not needed for a new school, training or education facility. B2/B8 uses and no development would not impact on school capacity.

3. Decent housing available to everyone (including vulnerable people and disadvantaged groups) 0 0

Residential development provides the opportunity for new homes including the provision of affordable housing. Proposal for B2/B8 uses and no development would not impact on decent housing.


XX /x 0

C3 use would adjoin uses that would be a source of noise and other pollution. It would result in residential development being located on a site where severe land contamination is a possibility. Site is not required for new health facilities. B2/B8 uses would not be immediately adjoining an area of existing housing but it would be within 200m of residential properties on Middlewood Road; there is a landscape buffer separating them and issues could be overcome at the planning application stage.


XX 0 0

C3 use would be in an isolated location not within or adjoining an existing housing area and not directly served by high frequency public transport. B2/B8 uses and no development would not have an impact on safety and security.

C3 use would be located more than 800 metres from a high frequency bus route and further than 400m from a local park and 1200m from a district park. B2/B8 uses on this site would not affect a local park or provision of recreation space. No development would not affect a local park or provision of recreation space.

7. Land use patterns that minimise the need to travel or which promote the use of sustainable forms of transport XX X 0

C3 use would be outside the main urban area. B2 uses would be located more than 3km from the motorway and not on a Strategic Road. No development would not have an impact on travel patterns.


X X 0

C3 use likely to lead to some harm to road safety by increasing traffic in an area of the Upper Don Valley that is already congested, but these issues could be addressed at the planning application stage with a contribution towards creating a bridge over the River Don. Housing on this site would be largely car dependent. B2/B8 uses could have minor negative impact on access to the Upper Don Valley by increasing traffic but it’s likely that problems could be overcome at planning application stage. No development would not impact on the transport network or road safety.

9. Efficient use of land which makes good use of previously developed sites and buildings 0

C3/B2/B8 development involves the use of previously developed land that has not substantially regenerated. No development would not have an impact on the efficient use of land.

C3 development could lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment by removing derelict land and buildings. Development of this site for B2/B8 uses would lead to some improvement to the quality of the local built environment. It would provide new development in an area surrounded by vacant and derelict land and buildings. This would depend on the quality of the design. No development would not affect the overall quality of the local built environment.

Development for C3/B2/B8 would be on previously developed land within an industrial estate where infrastructure is highly likely to be available. However, part of the site is a designated Open Space area and this would need to be taken into account at the time of an application. No development would not have an impact on physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses There are significant negative impacts on options for residential development in this location – the site is currently in an isolated location away from existing housing areas and adjoining sources of noise and other pollution. The site is also a significant distance from medium and high frequency bus route and local services. There are also issues of land contamination. However, if these constraints could be overcome then wholesale residential development would improve the built environment and remove sources of noise and other pollution. Although the site is not very well located for large numbers of employees due to poor public transport access, development for employment uses would benefit a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term. There are issues of landscape and design and the site is located on the edge of the Green Belt and contains an area of woodland, but these issues could be overcome at the planning application stage. The site would be most suitable for future industrial uses. Mitigation Measures Required Contamination issues of the site will need to be further investigated especially when considering future residential uses. Bridging the River Don from Middlewood Road to Clay Wheels Lane would greatly improve access to the Clay Wheels Lane area and also help to relieve congestion in other parts of the valley.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site provides an employment opportunity in a priority regeneration area and can help to meet employment land requirements in the longer-term. However, the site is not very well located for large numbers of employees as there is poor public transport access. Development for employment uses would involve the use of a previously developed site but the site could be contaminated as a result of the former industrial use. Development of this site would provide the opportunity for more attractive buildings in an area surrounded by vacant and derelict land, but B2 uses must reduce any impact on residential amenity at Wyn Gardens. No development could reduce positive opportunities that could be gained through development. The site would be most suitable for a light industrial development. Mitigation Measures Required Contamination issues on the site may need to be investigated further particularly in the case of future business development. Attenuation measures should be included as part of a proposals for B2 use. Development could contribute to bridging the River Don from Middlewood Road to Clay Wheels Lane as this would greatly improve access to the Clay Wheels Lane area and also help to relieve congestion in other parts of the valley. There is a significant amount of vacant and derelict land and buildings in the area surrounding Clay Wheels Lane and a coordinated approach should be considered for the regeneration of the whole area. The site is in a high probability flood risk area and therefore flood mitigation measures may be required.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Large derelict site between the rear of industrial properties along Holywell Road and the railway line, with access to both Upwell Street and Colliery Road. The industrial character of the area means that residential use is not appropriate. Business & Industrial Area designation on draft SDF Proposals Map: General industry and storage and distribution (B8 excluding open storage) are preferred uses; small to medium scale office development included as an acceptable use. Planning permission was granted in May 2004 to redevelop the site to provide B1 and/or B2 and/or B8 uses with associated car parking and landscaping. Phase 1 full planning permission for erection of workshops (Use Class B2) and storage (Use Class B8) with access and associated car parking accommodation and landscaping and (Phase 2) outline planning permission - 1500 sq metres office with detailed design subject to reserved matters - was granted in August 2011. Mitigation Measures Required Conditions are already placed by the current planning permission

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The development of a business or industrial site on this land would provide local employment choice. The site is very well accessed by both public transport (at Meadowhall interchange), providing good access for potential employees to the site, and the strategic motorway network. Development would result in the removal of vacant/underused land and its replacement by a high quality development that may assist in promoting neighbourhood renewal. Mitigation Measures Required Access to the site for vehicles would need to be carefully considered, together with the provision of pedestrian links to the TPT to enable access to bus, tram and train facilities at Meadowhall Interchange. Part of the site lies with a High Risk Flood Zone, which needs consideration. Capacity issues on the nearest junction with the M1 (J14) may also require a detailed transport assessment and measures to reduce the impact of the development on the road network.

site’s construction. 2. Education and training opportunities which build the skills and capacity of the population

X Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.


✓✓ XX Developed alongside other Falstaff sites for residential use, the development residential use would strongly support objective of improving housing, in terms of quality and choice, in the Housing Renewal Area Residential use is likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.


✓ 0 Residential use would be more than 200m away from sources of noise and other pollution. While not meeting the criteria for a positive impact, the link through the site towards Parson Cross Park would improve accessibility to open space.


x 0 Residential uses would be in a Housing Area but site does not adjoin a either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. some possibility that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


✓✓ 0 The site is situated within 400m walking distance from Parson Cross Park (which serves District Park and local Park function),


X 0 Residential uses within the existing built-up area but - some of site but less than 80% within 400m from a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day


X 0 Proposed use likely to lead to some harm to road safety (e.g. by slightly increasing traffic in a residential area – such as for relatively low trip generating uses such as C2, C3). The residential

use could also provide some increase in passenger numbers on a public transport route.


✓✓ XX This site in the housing renewal area was cleared with the intention of redeveloping for better housing, although on a temporary basis, a pleasant but temporary re-vegetation has been encouraged.

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ XX Proposed use could lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment through redevelopment of now cleared sites.






✓ 0 A link to Parson Cross Park would benefit wildlife.





0 0 As the site has not been used for a while, there is likely to be some conflict with improving air quality through some increase in road traffic, although also some increase in the use of sustainable means of travel.


✓✓ 0 Site is in Flood Zone 1.


✓ 0 The number of potential residential units on the site provides an opportunity to incorporate renewable energy measures.



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓✓ 0 The site has been previously developed, hence a strong possibility of retaining already existing infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site is within the Parson Cross Masterplan (Jan 2005) area, although its boundaries have changed. The site is one of a number of sites which have been cleared of housing and it is anticipated that during the plan period, new housing will be built on the site. Due to site boundary changes, less than 80% of the site is within 400m of a public transport route with a service frequency of 3+ buses per hour. No significant negative impacts of the development of this site for residential use were identified (apart from school capacity issues and the site not adjoining a public transport route). Matters such as the potential for on site recycling facilities will depend on the final scheme design. All residential development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will cause some negative impact on air quality and some minor harm to road safety through increased traffic in a residential area, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too. Mitigation Measures Required Policy C1 would ensure that walking routes to public transport were safe. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding. In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies E1 and F1 are written to limit this, including encouraging sustainable travel means.

0 This site is likely to have no impact on the achievement of this aim. However, there is the potential to employ and train local people in the site’s construction.




✓✓ Development is likely to enhance the quality and choice of housing within the housing renewal area.


✓ The site adjoins a strategic route into the city (Halifax Road) which could be a source of noise and air pollution but it is expected that such issues can be dealt with at the planning application stage.


✓✓ Residential uses would be in a Housing Area and in a location that adjoins a medium frequency public transport route (i.e. little likelihood that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night).

6. Good cultural, leisure and recreation ✓✓ The site is adjacent to an Open Space Area, within

facilities available to all 1200m of a district park (Parson Cross Park) and within 200m of a District Centre and adjoins a medium frequency bus route to the City Centre.


✓✓ Residential uses within 400m of a District Centre and adjoins a medium frequency public transport route.




X Part of it is a Greenfield but it is in the Housing Renewal Area and so is seen as essential for the effective regeneration of the area and there is adequate open space in the local area to meet local needs.

10. A quality built environment ✓ The redevelopment of this site will develop a vacant site thus improving the quality of the local built environment.






X Part of it is a Greenfield site and any kind of development could have a negative impact on biodiversity but the site is developable assuming nature conservation issues are effectively dealt with at the planning application stage.

14. Soil resources conserved X Developing on Greenfield part of the site could result in some soil pollution.







18. Prudent and efficient use of energy 0 This site is likely to have no impact on the

and mineral resources achievement of this aim. 19. Minimal production of waste and the reuse, recycling and recovery of waste maximised


20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓ Part of the site has been previously developed, hence a possibility of retaining already existing infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The proposal for this site, as identified in the Parson Cross Masterplan, is to create development which will provide natural surveillance of Chaucer playing fields, and will provide a ‘landmark’ gateway to Chaucer next to Halifax Road. The main negative impact is that this will involve development of Greenfield land, though it is in the Housing Renewal Area and there is adequate Open Space in the local area to meet local need. Mitigation Measures Required While the Parson Cross Masterplan proposed some development of open space, it also suggests locations for the re-provision of open space. Overall, there is unlikely to be a net loss of open space in the area.

✓ 0 As the site has not been used for a while, there is likely to be some conflict with improving air quality through some increase in road traffic, although also some increase in the use of sustainable means of travel.






0 0 0 No change to the previous use of land. The design of the proposed buildings may help to reduce waste and encourage recycling.


Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site is within the Parson Cross Masterplan (Jan 2005) area. The site has been cleared of housing and it is anticipated that during the plan period, new housing will be built on the site. Matters such as the potential for on site recycling facilities and opportunities to reduce waste and encourage recycling will depend on the final scheme design. No significant negative impacts of the development of this site for residential use were identified (apart from school capacity and a school being within 200m which would create noise). All development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will have cause some negative impact on air quality, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too.

Mitigation Measures Required The noise from the school would be insufficient that it would need mitigated. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding. In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies E1 and F1 are written to limit this, including encouraging sustainable travel means.

✓✓ The development will enhance the quality and housing choice within the Housing Renewal Area.




✓✓ The site is situated within the existing Housing Area and adjoins a medium frequency bus route (3 buses per hour to the City Centre, i.e. little likelihood that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night).


✓ Formal and informal open space facilities and a Neighbourhood Centre are within 400m of the site. The site is also within 400m of a medium frequency bus route giving access to cultural and leisure facilities accessible in the City Centre.


✓✓ Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a District Centre or 80% within [800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day)]





10. A quality built environment ✓✓ Proposed development will redevelop a vacant site on the edge of the Green Belt.






0 Proposed use could have minor negative impact on an adjoining designated nature conservation site, but the site is developable assuming nature conservation issues effectively dealt with at planning application stage.





✓ Proposed use is likely to improve viability of public transport.








Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses No significant negative impacts of the development of this site for residential use were identified. Matters such as the impact on the adjacent nature conservation area and the potential for on site recycling facilities can be dealt with in the final scheme design. Mitigation Measures Required

0 0 Use would have no significant direct impact on the provision of job opportunities in priority areas.




XX Residential use likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.


X 0 Residential use would be more than 200m away from sources of noise, except for sports use, and other pollution. This is a loss of recreation space, but there does not appear to be a need for these tennis courts and there is a lot of open space in Concord Park opposite.


0 Residential uses would be within an existing Housing Area and site adjoins a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day (i.e. little likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


XX Residential uses within 1200m of a District Park (Concord Park) and 400m of a local park.


0 Residential uses within the main urban area and within 400m of a high-frequency bus route.




X Involves re-use of a previously-developed site that has re-vegetated but which is not being put to any beneficial use.

10. A quality built environment X Proposed use could lead to some improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. through redevelopment of a site which is not derelict but contributes little to townscape, as they are disused tennis courts.




X Development could have some positive effect on attractiveness of natural environment (e.g. landscaping of new development on a derelict site)



14. Soil resources conserved 0 0 Development would not be on contaminated land or greenfield land (whilst technically the land is greenfield as it’s within a wider curtilage including playing fields, the site in question is the redundant former tennis courts area).


0 0


0 As the site has not been used for a while, there is likely to be some conflict with improving air quality through some increase in road traffic, although also some increase in the use of sustainable means of travel.


0 Flood Zone 1.


0 0 Depends on specific design of new development



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X Development of a greenfield site within the urban area.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Depending upon how open spaces in the area are categorised depends on whether this small former tennis courts (not currently suitable for play) are viewed as surplus open space. At the time of its inclusion as a development site in the Brightside Shiregreen Neighbourhood Development Framework, development was accepted with a strong justification for the release of what is technically greenfield land, and due to expected open space improvements. The site adjoins Bellhouse Road (a medium frequency bus route) although vehicular access will be from Shiregreen Lane. There are local school capacity issues. All development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will have cause some negative impact on air quality, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too. Mitigation Measures Required In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies are written to limit this, in terms of encouraging sustainable travel means. This site would only be released if there was an improvement in sports provision as a consequence. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site was identified in the Brightside/Shiregreen Neighbourhood Development Framework (NDF), approved by the Council as a material planning consideration in 2008. The site consists of redundant playing fields as a result of the new Hinde House School development which replaced the playing fields. It is anticipated that there will be a mix of house types to meet local need including a significant proportion of family homes.

Mitigation Measures Required The location of vehicular access to the site needs to be properly assessed and determined. Site Ref: P00417 Type of Allocation: Housing Site Site Area: 1.00 ha Policy Area: Housing Area Site Address: Woodbury Road, Wincobank

Sensitive, high quality development would improve the appearance and character of the area.

10. A quality built environment XX Proposed use would lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. by removing derelict land or buildings or converting buildings. The site at present is an eyesore and has had long-standing problems of illegal tipping.




X Development could have some positive effect on attractiveness of natural environment (e.g. landscaping of new development on a derelict site).



14. Soil resources conserved X Development would result in modest reclamation of contaminated land. Development of the site would remove materials deposited by illegal tipping.

0 Flood Zone 1.





20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X Development would be on previously developed land in rural areas or on greenfield sites within the urban area or on the urban edge where some level of infrastructure should already exist.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site is identified as a housing development site in the Brightside/Shiregreen Neighbourhood Development Framework (NDF). Whilst technically a greenfield site, the majority of the site is disused allotments, with some areas currently used for storage of building materials, etc, and a strong justification for the development of the site is included in the NDF. There is also significant illegal tipping, particularly at the Dara Street end of the site. Outline planning permission for residential development at the Dara Street end was granted in 2004. Full planning permission for the erection of 4 flats in 1 x 2 storey block and 17 dwellinghouses and garages was granted on the top end of the site in March 2010. Mitigation Measures Required Conditions and a S106 legal agreement in relation to the 2010 planning permission apply. Ensure no adverse impact through overlooking onto Concord Park/Woolley Woods and existing residents; take into account the stream on the northern boundary of the site.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Woolley Wood School closed in April 2012. The site was identified as a future housing site in the Brightside/Shiregreen Neighbourhood Development Framework (NDF), approved by the Council as a material planning consideration in 2008. It is expected that the development would accommodate a significant proportion of dwellings for the elderly to meet need in the area. Mitigation Measures Required Ensuring compatibility with adjacent residential areas. Ensuring appropriate planting, landscaping and retention of trees to “soften” the appearance of the area.

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ ✓✓ XX Proposed use would lead to significant improvement in the quality of the local built environment by removing derelict land. Also, design quality in all new development is emphasised in particular in HMR areas. Leaving the site as derelict would continue to have a strong negative effect on the visual environment.







14. Soil resources conserved ✓ ✓ XX Development would result in significant reclamation of contaminated land (<5 ha. where there has been a previous industrial use). The option of no development would do nothing to resolve this.

✓ 0 Residential use would be more than 200m away from sources of noise and other pollution.


X 0 Residential uses would be in a Housing Area but site does not adjoin either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. some possibility that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


✓✓ 0 The site is situated within 400m walking distance from Parson Cross Park (which serves District Park and local Park function),













Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site is within the Parson Cross Masterplan (Jan 2005) area, although its boundaries have changed. The site is one of a number of sites which have been cleared of housing and it is anticipated that during the plan period, new housing will be built on the site. Although the site doesn’t adjoin a public transport route, the safety issue would be dealt with through Policy C1. There is a public transport route nearby with 3+ buses per hour. No significant negative impacts of the development of this site for residential use were identified (although there are local school capacity issues). Matters such as the potential for on site recycling facilities will depend on the final scheme design. All residential development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will cause some negative impact on air quality and some minor harm to road safety through increased traffic in a residential area, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too. Mitigation Measures Required Policy C1 would ensure that walking routes to public transport were safe. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding. In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies E1 and F1 are written to limit this, including encouraging sustainable travel means.

0 0 Retail, leisure and community uses would provide some jobs within the former HMR area. Housing development (or leaving the site vacant) would have no direct impact on provision of job opportunities


X 0 0 Although additional housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or other funding.


0 XX Residential development would improve housing choice in the Norfolk Park neighbourhood. Leaving the site vacant would not help implement proposals in the adopted Norfolk Park Regeneration Plan.


0 XX Leaving the site vacant would waste an opportunity to improve local services. Housing would be remote from any noise or other types of pollution


X Residents would have safer access to regular public transport but a vacant site would worsen personal safety by not improving surveillance of open areas. Shops that stay open in the evening may help to increase surveillance.


0 New residents would have excellent access to facilities in Norfolk Heritage Park. Built leisure uses would meet some needs of the surrounding neighbourhood.


X Position next to a tram stop would ensure new residents had access to sustainable transport and the central location of the site would minimise travel for people using shops and other services. Leaving the site vacant would force people to travel further for services.


X Retail and leisure uses would promote greater use of the tram system, residential uses slightly less so. A ‘no development ‘option would waste an opportunity to optimise use of the tram system.


XX Both development options would make productive use of previously developed land but a ‘no development’ option would waste such an opportunity.

10. A quality built environment XX Both development options would lead to a better quality built environment. Given the prominence of the site a ‘no development ‘option would impact negatively on this aim.

0 0 0


0 0 0



0 0 0


X X Retail and leisure uses should have a positive effect by providing services more locally. More housing is likely to increase private car use despite good access to the tram system. A ‘no development’ option could also displace housing to less sustainable locations that would increase car usage.


0 Site is in a zone with the lowest probability of flooding


X All development options could make use of the Central District Heating scheme that is available in this neighbourhood but a ‘no development’ option would not exploit this asset.


0 0 Non-residential development could be obliged to provide communal recycling facilities for the area.

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X Both development options could make use of existing infrastructure but a ‘no development’ option would not exploit this asset.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site warrants development because it is in the heart of a regeneration area and leaving it vacant would impact negatively on half of the aims. Conversely, both development options have positive impacts for over half of the aims although the residential-only option could slightly worsen local air quality and stretch capacity in local schools. There are larger housing sites nearby that are well suited to improving choice in the area and so, on balance, this site is best used to create a new Neighbourhood Centre for Norfolk Park neighbourhood. This could be achieved by promoting a mix of appropriately scaled retail development alongside the new health facility. A small element of housing above or behind the shopping frontage would complement these principal uses. Mitigation Measures Required Capacity problems in local schools can be resolved through developer contributions and/or other funding.

X X Proposal may result in partial loss of land identified for meeting employment land requirements. However, the part of the site already has permission for housing use.




✓ 0 Residential development


X X There is possibility of disturbance (e.g. noise) caused by adjoining business/industrial uses. B1 use class presently occupies part of the site.


✓ 0 Residential uses would be on a site adjoining an existing Housing Area and site adjoins either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. limited likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


✓ 0 Residential uses within 400m of a local park or within 1200m of a District Park 80% of residential uses located within 400m of a railway station, Supertram route or bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre or other cluster of built leisure uses.


✓✓ 0 Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a District Centre or 80% within [800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day)] Major retail or leisure development located in the City Centre or a District Centre No development would have no significant impact on travel patterns




✓✓ 0 Involves use of a previously developed site that has not substantially re-vegetated or conversion of buildings

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ 0 Proposed use would lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. by removing derelict land or buildings or converting buildings











✓ 0 Proposed use likely to be of some benefit in improving air quality (e.g. by causing some reduction in the road traffic or by encouraging some increase in use of sustainable transport modes)






✓ 0 Development on the site would involve provision of recycling facilities

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓✓ 0 Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area where infrastructure is highly likely to be available.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Residential development will provide an opportunity to improve housing choice and quality and should increase the viability of public transport. The development would contribute to implementation of renewable energy use and measures as well as waste management (reuse and recycling facilities). Cultural, leisure and shopping facilities are easily accessible from the site. Mitigation Measures Required The site is located within the Business Area in UDP. Part of the site already has permission for housing 04/04841/OUT, however the remaining part of the site, currently occupied by industrial units (B1) will require an independent planning permission. Likeliness of mitigation over the loss of industrial/business land. Immediate proximity of well established housing use is an advantage. The site is in close proximity to an informal Local Shopping Centre at Duke Street. Additionally there is an excellent connection to the City Centre (public transport) that will be enforced through policy C1 Site Ref: P00204 Type of Allocation: Housing Site Site Area: 2.64 ha Policy Area: Housing Area Site Address: Castle College North Site, Granville Road Norfolk Park?

X Proposed use likely to be in some conflict with improving air quality (e.g. by causing some increase in the need to travel or encouraging some increase in road traffic)




✓✓ Site is within or close to the City Centre and could provide an opportunity to make use of CHP (site is currently connected to the network in Zone 6)


0 Would depend on detailed design matters

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓✓ Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area where infrastructure is highly likely to be available

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Residential development on this site would generally have a positive impact on the sustainability aims. There may be a negative impact on Aim 4 (conditions and services which engender good health) because of the site’s proximity to a Fringe Industry and Business Area. Residential development would probably increase local road traffic and the need to travel, resulting in a slight negative impact on Aim 16 (air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions). Mitigation Measures Required Design of new development to incorporate appropriate landscaping, vegetation buffers, layout and orientation of buildings etc. to minimise potential noise and other forms of pollution from the Fringe Industry and Business Area opposite.

X 0 Proposed use would result in loss of a site that may be needed for a new school, college or training facility Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.


✓✓ 0 Residential use would strongly support objective of improving housing in the Housing Market Renewal Area (sites over 2 ha) Residential use likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and/ or supported accommodation for people in need of care in an area of need Residential development likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes However, the possible education use may detract from the amount of housing deliverable on this site


X 0 Residential use would be close to (within 200m but not adjoining) a source of noise or other pollution (Prince of Wales Road)


✓✓ 0 Residential uses would be within an existing Housing Area and site adjoins either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. little likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night) Some parts of the site however are a distance from the medium frequency bus route


✓✓ 0 The site is in close proximity to City Park and a local ‘Pocket Park’. These facilities may also be of value to a school.


✓✓ 0 Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a

District Centre or 80% within [800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day)] The possibility of a school on this site would reduce the need for parents and children to travel longer distances to school. It could also generate additional footfall to support the expansion of Neighbourhood Centres locally. Proposed use would have no significant impact on travel patterns


✓✓ 0 Residential or educational development on this site would significantly bolster the viability of public transport in the area, which is currently running under capacity and therefore at lower frequency.


✓✓ X The site has been cleared of housing as part of the regeneration initiative

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ X Development of this site would put derelict land to good use and promote a significant improvement in the quality of the local built environment.











✓ 0 Proposed uses likely to improve viability of public transport.




✓✓ 0 This is a reasonably large site that can accommodate more than 5 units or more than 500sqm gross floorspace for a school and therefore offers good opportunities to incorporate renewable energy measures.


o 0 Would depend on detailed design matters

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓✓ X This previously developed site should benefit from a partially retained infrastructure. This may require more adaptation for a school. Leaving the site vacant would not be an efficient use of infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Residential development on this site will provide an excellent opportunity to improve housing choice, quality and the viability of public transport and local shops and services within the area. Development on the site will aid regeneration locally, bringing a derelict, brownfield site back into use and in turn will improve the local infrastructure. There are also opportunities to deliver renewable energy measures on site. The lack of proximity to a District Centre is problematic; however there are two Neighbourhood Centres within the vicinity. Mitigation Measures Required The site lacks proximity to a District Centre; however an ongoing master planning exercise in the area proposes the bolstering of the Neighbourhood Centre in closest proximity to the site. Other established Neighbourhood Centres are within walking distance, the viability of which would be bolstered by additional housing in the area. Improvements to the frequency of public transport in the area would greatly improve the sustainability of the site.

✓✓ 0 Residential uses would be within an existing Housing Area and site adjoins a high or medium (see aim 7) frequency public transport route (i.e. little likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night) Parts of the site however are a distance away from the medium frequency bus route


✓✓ 0 The site is situated within 1200m of a District Park as well as being next to a large Open Space area with Recreation Grounds and Local shopping Centre.




✓ 0 Residential development on this site would bolster the viability of public transport in the area.


✓✓ 0 The site, as a previously developed land, provides excellent opportunities for the new development.

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ 0 Proposed use would lead to significant improvements of local built environment and could extensively contribute to local regeneration.











✓/X 0 The site has limited public transport access and therefore development on the site will increase the number of residents using private transport in the area. However, new housing and an increased population is likely to improve the viability of public transport.








Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site is conveniently located next to the existing housing area. Nearby Recreational Grounds and Local Shopping Centre would provide future residents with good leisure and recreation facilities. The development of the site would enhance the overall regeneration scheme in the area of HMR, contributing to the quality and choice of housing. New development would also contribute to introducing waste management and energy efficiency schemes in the relevant part of the city. Mitigation Measures Required Need to cater for need of people with different planning characteristics, and significantly improve the sustainability of the site.

x 0 Residential uses would be in a Housing Area but in a location and site does not adjoin a high or medium frequency public transport route (i.e. some possibility that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


✓ 0 Residential uses within 400m of a local park







10. A quality built environment ✓✓ X Proposed use would lead to significant improvements of local built environment and could extensively contribute to the local regeneration scheme.






Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site is adjacent to existing housing and as previously developed land may offer an excellent opportunity for new housing development. New development would also contribute to quality and choice of housing within the HMR area. Introduction of waste management and energy efficient schemes on the site would contribute to enhancement of city environmental strategy. Lack of easy access to public transport for all presents an issue. Mitigation Measures Required Hopefully redevelopment of the site will present an opportunity to successfully lobby for additional bus routes. Improvements of viability of public transport would be essential as better transportation accessibility is vital for creating safe and user-friendly environment for future residents with certain planning characteristics. If this is not viable, the development should at least meet the requirements of policy T1 from the City Policies and Sites document – which should mitigate problems regarding access to public transport to some extent.

0 0 The fire-damaged building occupying this site is incapable of providing any employment opportunities in its current state.




0 Site could provide housing that would widen choices in the Lowfield area.


X X Although noise from occasional testing of a generator serving the adjoining business could potentially cause disturbance to residents this can be mitigated through the design of the layout. Some contamination may be encountered from the previous industrial use. The existing factory use immediately adjoins existing houses.


X Residents would have safer access to regular public transport but current use would worsen personal safety through lack of surveillance of surrounding area.


0 New residents would have good access to Norfolk Heritage Park and Black Bank.


X New residents would have access to good bus services on East Bank Road. The current factory is remote from the motorway network.


X Residential use would increase passenger numbers on public transport routes but the former use is unlikely to do so.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site warrants redevelopment because it is a key site close to existing housing in the city’s former HMR Pathfinder area and leaving it as a derelict factory would impact negatively on several aims. The housing option has positive impacts for half the aims and only scores negatively for four factors, two of which can be mitigated. This site will help to meet citywide housing requirements and new residents will help sustain local services in the Lowfield and Heeley neighbourhoods. Mitigation Measures Required Layout of a housing scheme can address the occasional noise impact from the neighbouring business and capacity problems in local schools can be resolved through developer contributions and/or other funding.

0 0 Residential use would have no significant direct impact on provision of job opportunities.


✓✓ Valley Park School has over 25% spare places (at 2008) therefore Housing use would not result in capacity of local schools being exceeded and cumulative effect of development with other housing sites is not likely to be a problem


✓ 0 Residential use likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and/ or supported accommodation for people in need of care in an area of need New housing here could provide a wider range of housing types (as mostly family housing in this area).


XX 0 Residential use would adjoin a source of noise pollution (but this can be mitigated against, through planning conditions)


✓✓ 0 Residential uses would be within an existing Housing Area and site adjoins a high frequency public transport route (i.e. little likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


✓ Residential use would be within 400m of Hollinsend local park.


✓✓ 0 Residential uses located within 800m of a Supertram stop


✓ 0 Residential use would provide some increase in passenger numbers on a public transport route where there is spare capacity


✓ XX Brownfield land ripe for redevelopment. This is ex-council housing site which has been cleared. Failure to redevelop represents a lost opportunity to recycle urban land.

10. A quality built environment ✓✓ 0 Residential use would lead to significant improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. by removing derelict land




✓ 0

Development could have some positive effect on attractiveness of natural environment (e.g. landscaping of new development on a derelict site)





0 0 Neutral impact.


0 0 Residential use could result in some increase in the use of private cars but also could encourage some increase in use of public transport, cycling and walking. Thus residential use is likely to have neutral or insignificant impact on air quality. Keeping the site vacant has neutral impact.




✓ 0 Residential development has a strong likelihood of providing renewable energy' - this will be the case on developments over 10 residential units




Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Residential use will have generally positive impacts on the relevant sustainability objectives (although one negative impact in relation to health). It will make good use of a previously developed site. Redevelopment of this site could improve the appearance of the local environment and help regeneration and investment into this area. It would also help to fully use existing infrastructure, and could provide some increase in public transport passenger numbers, and use some of the spare capacity in the local school. Redevelopment also has a strong likelihood of providing renewable energy. Residential development can contribute to affordable housing provision in this part of the city. The site is free from flood risk. The site is adjacent to a high frequency public transport route (Supertram), with good access to cultural and leisure facilities and a local park. Therefore there is good safety and security for people and property and good opportunity to promote sustainable forms of transport. Mitigation Measures Required The site is adjacent to a noise source (supertram and dual carriageway) but this can be mitigated through planning conditions.

0 0



20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X New housing would make good use of existing infrastructure but a ‘no development’ option would not exploit this asset.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site warrants development because it is a key site in a regeneration area within the city’s former HMR Pathfinder area and leaving the site vacant would impact negatively on almost a third of the aims. The housing redevelopment option has positive impacts for the majority of aims and only scores negatively through a slight worsening of air quality and stretching capacity in local schools. This large site will help to meet citywide housing requirements and a local need for older persons housing whilst significantly improving the attractiveness and sustainability of the Arbourthorne neighbourhood. Mitigation Measures Required Capacity problems in local schools can be resolved through developer contributions and/or other funding.

X X Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.


✓ 0


✓ 0 The site is in a reasonably quiet location sufficiently far from major roads and sources of pollution, and is close to a large open space area


X X Residential uses would be in a Housing Area but in a location and site does not adjoin a high frequency public transport route (i.e. some possibility that vulnerable groups would have to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night). A vacant site would impact negatively on safety and security.


✓✓ 0 The site is within 1200m of Manor Fields District Park, and also 400m of local parks.


✓✓ 0 The site is located within 800m of the Supertram stop at Manor Top and also within 400m of a high frequency bus route


✓ 0 Additional housing in the area could support public transport usage


✓✓ X Being previously developed, the site provides good conditions for new development. Leaving the site undeveloped would waste the resource of previously developed land.

10. A quality built environment ✓ X Development of new housing could lead to some improvement to the quality of local built environment e.g. through redevelopment of a site which is not derelict but contributes little to townscape. Leaving the site vacant would detract from the townscape.











✓ 0 The location of the site which benefits from excellent public transport links could enable air pollution to be minimised if it is assumed that residents make use of this and support services.






0 0

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure ✓✓ X Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area where infrastructure is highly likely to be available.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site benefits from being located in an existing housing area. Previously developed, the site creates an excellent opportunity not only to make use of already existing infrastructure, but also to introduce new waste management and efficient energy use schemes. Housing development would increase public transport viability. The development would enhance housing quality and choice within the HMR area. Mitigation Measures Required Travel plan for development to ensure that best use is made of existing public transport options.

0 0 Retention of the existing use would maintain potential for job opportunities but the site lies outside of identified priority employment areas.




0 The site could provide housing that would widen choices in Norton Woodseats.


X Housing would be remote from any noise or other types of pollution but the existing distribution use can cause disamenity to adjoining houses.


0 Site is within an existing Housing Area and very close to a bus route with frequent services.


0 New residents would have excellent access to facilities available in Graves Park.


X Residents would have access to medium frequency bus services on Hemsworth Road/Warminster Road. Any re-use of the existing distribution depot for similar purposes would have poor access to the motorway network.


0 Residential use would increase passenger numbers on public transport that the current use is unlikely to match.


0 Redevelopment and conversion for housing would make productive use of previously developed land and buildings.

10. A quality built environment 0 New housing development and sensitive conversion of the former courtyard plan farm complex would lead to a better quality built environment.


0 Proposed residential use is likely to result in improvement to some original 18th century buildings of high historical value.


0 0


0 0

14. Soil resources conserved 0 New residential development would help to reclaim land used for distribution purposes.


0 0


X X More housing could increase private car use but this is unlikely to cause more emissions than a busy depot.




Residential development would involve re-using some existing buildings which would save on construction materials.


0 0 Performance of new development will depend on whether demolition waste can be re-used on site.


Both options would make use of existing infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A full building appraisal has recommended that the site is suitable for development provided heritage buildings comprising the original courtyard plan farm complex are retained and converted. Housing is the best use to restore those buildings and exploit the remainder of the site because it is in a sustainable location close to existing houses and local services and there are no significant constraints to overcome for that use. Maintaining the current distribution depot would impact negatively on several aims and the jobs it can provide would be in a non-priority location for employment purposes. The housing option has positive impacts for the majority of aims and only scores negatively for two factors including putting extra pressure on local schools. The site can help conserve heritage assets, meet citywide housing requirements and indirectly sustain local services in the Norton Woodseats neighbourhood. Mitigation Measures Required Although use of this site for housing may have a minor impact on the capacity of local schools this should be mitigated by developer contributions or other means that will address this issue.

0 0 A part residential and part open space option would have no direct impacts on provision of jobs




0 The site could provide some affordable housing and widen housing choices in Norton Woodseats.


0 Housing would be remote from any noise or other types of pollution and re-instating the rest of the site for sports use, as a result of housing development, would provide for future needs for pitches in South Sheffield. If there were no interventions and the site remained vacant it would not improve the quality of provision for recreational open space in the area.


0 Site adjoins a Housing Area and is very close to regular bus services on Derbyshire Lane /Hemsworth Road.


0 New residents would have excellent access to facilities available in Graves Park and the re-instatement of pitches would benefit sports users in South Sheffield. Without intervention a vacant site would not contribute to improvement of local recreation facilities.


0 Residents would have access to medium frequency bus services on Hemsworth Road.


0 0 Residential use would increase passenger numbers on public transport but this could be offset by sports use attracting some traffic from a wider area to this neighbourhood.


XX Some new housing would be built on a ‘greenfield’ site albeit that the major part will be retained for open space. The ‘greenfield’ status of the site will be maintained if all the land remains undeveloped.

10. A quality built environment 0 Adherence to current design standards will mean that new residential development should lead to an improvement in the local built environment.

0 0 Further information required before scoring whether sufficient infrastructure exists on or near this ‘greenfield’ site.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A modest housing development on part of this large ’greenfield’ site would be sustainable if it also facilitated the re-instatement of quality sports pitches in a sector of the city that lacks such provision. A conditional allocation for a comprehensive mixed development, as proposed, has more positive impacts than negative ones. The residential element would be sited in a sustainable location close to existing houses and local services and although it may put some extra pressure on local schools that have already been revamped it should be possible to mitigate this impact. A housing development that helps to secure the permanent re-instatement of quality pitches would meet future acknowledged needs for sports provision in South Sheffield. The alternative of leaving the site vacant would preserve its ‘greenfield’ status but without a major intervention it would not advance the beneficial improvement of this open space. Mitigation Measures Required Capacity problems in local schools can be resolved through developer contributions and/or other funding.

0 Housing use is unlikely to result in capacity of local schools being exceeded, but there could be a problem if other sites in the same area are also developed for housing. School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by the development is likely to be resolvable




0 Residential use would be more than 200m away from sources of noise and other pollution


0 Residential uses would be within an existing Housing Area and site adjoins either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day, or a Supertram route (i.e. little likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)


0 Residential uses within 1200m of a District Park and 400m of a local park.




0 Proposed use would provide some increase in passenger numbers on a public transport route where there is spare capacity


X Development would make use of a previously developed site that has not substantially re-vegetated Not developing would leave a long term vacant site








Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Site is sustainable for residential use, being well located with good access by public transport, and within walking distance of local facilities. Development will make efficient use of a previously developed site, and provide an opportunity to improve the built environment. Mitigation Measures Required Encouragement for residents to make full use of public transport.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses This site provides the opportunity for residential development in an established residential area. The negative impacts are small in terms of sustainability and mainly related to increased traffic, road safety and air quality. Redevelopment would be on previously developed land and would provide the opportunity for good design that would have a positive impact on the built environment. Mitigation Measures Required Consideration of traffic impact.

0 0 Housing development (or leaving the site vacant) would have no direct impact on the provision of job opportunities in the priority areas.


X 0 Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding. Leaving the site vacant would have no impact on school capacity.


✓✓ 0 Residential use likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and / or supported accommodation for people in need of care. Residential development likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.


✓✓ 0 Residential use would be more than 200m away from sources of noise and other pollution and therefore would not endanger good health. As the site and location would require on-site open space, open space would be provided in an area where there is an assessed shortage of recreational open space


✓✓ 0 The site is in an existing housing area and adjoins (or within 30m of) a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day.


✓ 0 Residential uses further than 400m from a local park (700m to Townhead Recreation Park) and further than 1200m from a District Park. However 80% of the site within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day.

10. A quality built environment ✓ 0 Proposed use could lead to some improvement to the quality of local built environment


0 0 The site is not inside but just outside Dore Conservation Area. Development would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or area of industrial heritage





14. Soil resources conserved 0 0 Development would not be on confirmed contaminated land (not industrial site) or greenfield land


0 0 Neutral or insignificant impact


X 0 As the site has not been used for a while, there is likely to be some conflict with improving air quality through some increase in road traffic.




✓ 0 Development has a strong likelihood of providing renewable energy - as the development is likely to provide over 10 residential units.




Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Residential use will have generally positive impacts on the relevant sustainability objectives. It will make good use of previously developed sites and buildings, and potentially it could improve the appearance of the local environment and take full use of the existing infrastructures. Redevelopment also has a strong likelihood of providing renewable energy. Residential development can contribute to affordable housing provision in this part of the city and widen the choices for disabled people. The site is close to public transport with a frequency of 3+ buses per hour, therefore this counteracts the distance to the local park and district park and high frequency public transport to leisure facilities. Retaining the site vacant represents a loss of opportunities to recycle urban land and take the full use of existing infrastructure and local community facilities. All residential development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will cause some negative impact on air quality and some minor harm to road safety through increased traffic in a residential area, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too. Mitigation Measures Required In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies are written to limit this. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Development of the site for residential uses is sustainable as it would provide affordable housing either on site or through a financial contribution. However its sustainability is tempered by the fact that the site is Greenfield. Mitigation Measures Required The site is within the built up area of the village but because it adds to the open character of that part of the village, this could be partially mitigated by requiring a high standard of design, particularly landscape design.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses There is no risk of flooding on this site, it adjoins an existing housing area and is within a reasonable walking distance of the core public transport network with in excess of 6 buses per hour, although not adjoining it (so some risk to personal safety). There would be a minimal risk to the natural environment if this site was developed for housing (although there may be some soil pollution), and this site contributes little to the townscape therefore development of the site may improve the area’s aesthetics, although the local residents enjoy the current aesthetics of the natural landscape. There may be some minimal impact on wildlife. All residential development on sites where there are no existing traffic movements will cause some negative impact on air quality and some minor harm to road safety through increased traffic in a residential area, but is also likely to lead to increased public transport passenger numbers too. Mitigation Measures Required The use of renewable resources must be discussed and decided upon at planning application stage. Nature conservation issues will be dealt with at planning application stage, and any appropriate mitigation measures will be placed as a condition of development. In order to meet housing need, additional development is required. Therefore across the city, there will have to be localised worsening of air quality to accommodate this additional development. City Policies E1 and F1 are written to limit this, including encouraging sustainable travel means. Although additional Housing may cause capacity problems in local schools this can be resolved through developer contributions and/or funding.

Proposed use likely to significantly benefit air quality as Park and Ride would significantly reduce road traffic into the city centre and encourage significant increase in the use of sustainable transport modes.







20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Park & Ride maximises access by displacing long stay commuter parking from the city centre to peripheral locations thus freeing up city centre parking for short stay shopper and leisure use.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The Abbeydale Drive Park & Ride facility already exists on this site so no alternative uses have been considered here. No negative impacts for the current use have been identified and the Park & Ride option generally has positive impacts for relevant sustainability objectives where they relate to transport infrastructure. P &R can result in reduced mileage by private vehicles, therefore reducing carbon emissions and encourage the use of public transport and an efficient transport network, all of which can significantly benefit air quality. Allocating the existing site for Park and Ride can lead to its promotion, and better Park and Ride facilities on-site and on-route. Mitigation Measures Required It is recognised that the site is currently under used and therefore not used very efficiently. The allocation of the site as Park and Ride acknowledges the investment expected on this site to improve Park and Ride facilities and usage.

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Development would be on a greenfield site within an established industrial estate within the urban area, where existing infrastructure already serves surrounding industrial operations. No Development – Requires little or no new physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A small relatively flat heavily overgrown site that has a green character & is centrally located within the Holbrook Industrial Area, surrounded by established industrial & warehouse activities. For Business [Offices] this is a non-strategic site that is within 800 metres from high frequency public transport [the Supertram stop at Westfield], so there is a high probability that workers would use private cars to travel [particularly at peak times], with some adverse effect on air quality & road safety. It would result in an isolated office development within an area heavily dominated by General Industry & Warehousing. Other more sustainable office sites are likely to be available elsewhere in Sheffield closer to the City Centre & main transport routes. The travellers’ site off New Street, immediately to south west of the site, might slightly restrict acceptable types of General Industry or Warehousing development here. Despite being a greenfield site, not on a Strategic Road [although Eckington Way is readily accessible just to the west], & more than 3 km. from the M1 motorway, General Industry or Warehouse development here would be consistent with the surrounding area’s predominant character, & it would draw upon established infrastructure serving the area. There would, however, be some limited adverse effect on air quality & road safety from extra private car travel & from other vehicles serving new general industry or warehouses. No Development – Although some minor benefit to the area’s general visual character & natural history interest could result from the retention of this site as green space, it in fact has no especial landscape or ecological value, & [given its location within an industrial area] has limited potential to extend other existing green spaces or to serve the recreational needs of the nearest communities [although a small number of industrial workers & nearby resident travellers might benefit from it].

The site is around 800 metres from the nearest high frequency public transport route [Supertram stop & bus terminus at Halfway] No Development – No direct impact on provision of job opportunities










0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Does not affect a local park or provision of recreation space. No Development – Retention as green space could benefit an area where recreation space provision is below the minimum guideline. But the surrounding Holbrook area is predominantly industrial in character & the site is away from residential areas, so would be unlikely to be of especial recreational value.


0 Offices located around transport interchanges at Meadowhall, Hillsborough and Crystal Peaks, or on high frequency public transport routes. General Industry and Warehousing located within 3km of the Motorway but not on (or near) a Strategic Road or on (or near) a strategic road but not within 3km of the Motorway No Development – No significant impact on travel patterns.


X X 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Could have minor detrimental impacts on the transport network [extra car usage by workers; extra public transport use, especially at peak time by office workers, could stretch public transport capacity]. No Development – No noticeable impact on transport network, & neutral effect on road safety.
















0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Development of this site is not expected to be significantly affected by flood risk, as it lies within Flood Zone 1. Some reduction in run-off could be achieved. No Development – Minimal risk from flooding results from the site’s retention as green space.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Impact of development on how energy & resources are used would depend on the specific character of the design. Development of this scale could provide some renewable energy resources. No Development – Minimal impact on energy & mineral use.




Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A flat & lightly overgrown greenfield site located within the Holbrook Industrial Area, and largely surrounded by established industrial & warehouse activities. Previous phases of industrial development within the Meadowbrook Park estate adjoin to the west & north. The site’s eastern boundary abuts a narrow wooded corridor & waterway of natural history interest off Rother Valley Way. Recent application for development with builder’s merchant refused, because of impact on adjoining woodland. For Business [Offices] this is a non-strategic site that is around 800 metres on foot from high frequency public transport [the Supertram stop at Halfway], so there is a high probability that workers would use private cars to travel [particularly at peak times], with some adverse effect on air quality & road safety. It would result in an isolated office development within an area heavily dominated by General Industry & Warehousing. Other more sustainable office sites are likely to be available elsewhere in Sheffield closer to the City Centre & main transport routes. Despite being a greenfield site, not on a Strategic Road [although Eckington Way is readily accessible just to the west], & more than 3 km. from the M1 motorway, General Industry or Warehousing development here would be consistent with the surrounding area’s predominant character, & it would draw upon established infrastructure serving the area. There would, however, be some limited adverse effect on air quality & road safety from extra private car travel & from other vehicles serving new general industry or warehouses. No Development – Although some minor benefit to the area’s general visual character & natural history interest could result from the retention of this site as green space, it in fact has no especial landscape or ecological value, & [given its location within an industrial area] has limited potential to extend other existing green spaces or to serve the recreational needs of the nearest communities [although a small number of industrial workers might benefit from it].

0 0 Business [Offices], General Industry/ Warehousing – Although outside the City Centre & Priority Economic Regeneration areas, the site is in outer Mosborough, another priority area. Much of the site is potentially within 400 metres of high frequency public transport services [the Halfway tram terminus]. Housing, No Development – No direct impact on provision of job opportunities


0 0 0 0 School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here. Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – Site not needed for new school, education or training facilities


0 0 0 Housing – A range of housing types would be required, capable of meeting varied needs. Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – Proposal is not for residential use


XX 0 0 Housing – There is the possibility of some contamination within tipped areas of the site; and the site immediately adjoins the Holbrook Foundry, a potential source of noise & fume pollution. Even if the foundry were to close in the future, on-site contamination would be likely to remain until such time as the site is redeveloped. Business, General Industry/Warehousing– No implications for promotion of good health No Development – Unlikely to have implications for health.


XX 0 0 0 Housing – Although the Supertram terminus at Halfway is potentially only 100 metres or so from the site, it would nevertheless be in a relatively isolated location that is not within or adjoining a Housing Area. Estates in Westfield Township are at least 400 metres away to the west of busy Eckington Way; & the Holbrook Foundry clearly separates the site from housing areas 200 metres to the south adjoining Station Road. Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – No impact on safety or security


X 0 0 Housing – Site less than 400 metres from the Supertram terminus at Halfway, linking to City Centre leisure uses. But the site is separated by busy Eckington Way from the nearest local park located to the south of Short Brook School [at least 400 metres away & only accessible by a circuitous route]. No Development - Retention as green space would benefit an area where recreation space provision is below the minimum guideline. But the surrounding Holbrook area is overwhelmingly industrial in character & well away from surrounding residents, so would be unlikely to be of especial recreational value, unless directly linked with housing development on or an adjoining site. Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Would have no effect on a local park or provision of recreation space


0 Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a District Centre or 80% within [800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day)] Offices located within the City Centre General Industry and Warehousing would be located on (or near) a strategic road but further than 3km from the motorway No Development – Proposed use would have no significant impact on travel patterns


X XX X 0 Housing – Increased passenger usage could have minor detrimental impacts on the transport network & extra car use could have some impact on road safety. Business – High peak hour usage of Supertram & buses associated with major office use seems most likely to have significant negative impact by straining the capacity of the public transport network & also promoting substantial extra car usage, causing some impact on road safety. General Industry/Warehousing – Some extra car usage & heavy goods vehicle movements will be generated, with potential for some negative impacts on road safety & traffic movement. No Development – Unlikely to have any noticeable impact on the transport network or impact on road safety


XX XX XX Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Involve development of a greenfield site No Development – Retains the greenfield status of the site.

10. A quality built environment 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Could lead to some improvement in the quality of the local built environment by redevelopment of a site that, although green in character, contributes little to townscape. No Development – Would not affect the overall quality of the built environment


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing, No Development – Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or an area of industrial heritage.


Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Could have some positive effect on the attractiveness of the natural environment close to the Short Brook Green Corridor, by providing appropriate landscaping as part of the development No Development -- Retention as green space could have some positive effect on the natural environment, as the site immediately adjoins the wooded Short Brook Green Corridor, and, if suitably treated, could enhance the Green Corridor’s attractiveness.


Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Could achieve some benefit for the Local Nature Site in the adjoining Short Brook Green Corridor, by providing sensitive eco-friendly landscaped areas as part of development. No Development -- Retention as green space could provide potential for the site to contribute to the bio-diversity of the Site Of Importance For Nature Conservation in the adjoining Short Brook Green Corridor.

14. Soil resources conserved Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Development would result in the reclamation of a previously-tipped site where there is a strong likelihood of ground pollution. No Development - Retention in greenfield use should not lead to disturbance of any on-site pollution or adversely affect the soil quality on this site.


X X X Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Could result in some limited additional water pollution. No Development - Retention as green space should not adversely affect water resources.


X XX X 0 Business – Especially likely to conflict with air quality objectives, by creating significant extra need to travel [especially at peak hours] & greater private car usage. Housing, General Industry/Warehousing – Likely to be in some conflict with air quality objectives, by creating some extra need to travel & greater private car usage. No Development – Likely to have little or no impact on air quality.


0 Business, Housing, General Industry/ /Warehousing – The site is in Flood Zone & redevelopment could provide a significant opportunity to reduce flood risk. No Development -- Minimal risk from flooding results from the site’s retention as green space.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – The impact of development on how energy & resources are used would depend on the specific character of the design. No Development -- Minimal impact on energy & mineral use.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – The influence of development on waste production & the maximum re-use, recycling & recovery of waste would depend on its detailed design. No Development -- Involves minimal waste production.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Development would be on a greenfield site adjoining an established industrial estate within the urban area, where existing infrastructure already serves surrounding industrial operations. Woodhouse Mill Waste Water Treatment Plant is currently being upgraded with a scheduled completion date of the end of 2013. No Development – Would involve no new physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A large private site on the western fringe of the Holbrook Industrial Area. Within the same ownership as the adjoining Holbrook Foundry to the south, through which road access from Station Road is currently possible. Immediately to the north, the site borders the Short Brook & its dense adjoining willow ‘carr’ (a Local Nature Site), which is at a much lower level, below steep heavily overgrown slopes [not included in Site P00376]. To the west, the site borders the Supertram tracks [just to the north of the Halfway terminus], with Eckington Way beyond, both at a lower level. The site falls away very steeply on its eastern side, to a drainage channel with overgrown areas, and a small works beyond on New Street. The site has lain unused for many years. It was, however, extensively tipped with waste some years ago, although the lower central area of the site [more densely covered with developing scrub & trees & divided off by mature hedgerows] appears not to have been tipped. The rest of the site is overgrown with rough grass & some developing scrub. There is the possibility of contamination in the tipped. Outline planning permission was granted in September 2009 for mixed use development including offices, industry and storage & distribution, with planning permission for an access bridge granted the following year and which has now been completed. This site would not be well suited to Housing development, because, although fairly close to a high frequency bus & tram routes linking to the City Centre & facilities at Crystal Peaks, it is:

• A relatively isolated greenfield site • Adjacent to predominantly industrial uses, including the Holbrook Foundry immediately to the South • Clearly separated from the nearest existing dwellings at Westfield [400 metres way beyond busy Eckington Way] & 200metres

away around Station Road [beyond the Holbrook Foundry]. • Around 800 metres by foot from the Westfield Neighbourhood Centre [beyond Eckington Way] & Morrisons supermarket [to the

south, beyond busy Station Road]. Although a non-strategic site for Business [office] development, it has the particular benefit of being within 400 metres of high

frequency bus & tram routes & close to a strategic road [Eckington Road] for peak hour staff movements. But it would be an isolated large office development on a greenfield site, within an area largely dominated by B2/B8 uses. It could also have adverse peak hour impacts on both the public transport network [from greatly increased demand] & on road traffic movement. Air quality & road safety could also be adversely affected by high levels of extra car usage. Other more sustainable major office sites are likely to be available elsewhere in Sheffield, closer to the City Centre & main transport nodes such as Crystal Peaks. Despite being on a greenfield site, General Industry/Warehousing development here would be consistent with the surrounding area’s predominant character, & service links should be available close by. The site is close to high frequency bus & tram routes, & a strategic road [Eckington Road], suited to cater for extra traffic generated by both private cars & heavy goods vehicles. But some adverse impacts on air quality & road safety would result, along with natural history impacts, site access & on-site pollution issues. No Development -- Some benefit to the area’s general visual character & natural history interest could result from this site’s retention as Open Space. It has limited landscape value, although it may have some ecological interest. It would help reinforce the existing Green Link & Local Nature Site alongside the Short Brook. It might also possibly be enhanced to provide some recreational benefit for the nearest communities. However, there is no particular requirement for a substantial [3.6 hectare] increase in open space provision in this relatively isolated location. Mitigation Measures Required Conditions are already placed by the current planning permissions.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A relatively flat & lightly overgrown greenfield site that is located towards the northern end Holbrook Industrial Area, and is largely surrounded by established industrial & warehouse activities. This site is associated within established premises that has recently been refurbished for use as a tile warehouse. As part of this refurbishment, the site has been levelled to facilitate future development. . For Business [Offices] this is a non-strategic site that is over 1000 metres away on foot from high frequency public transport [the Supertram stops at Waterthorpe & Westfield], so there is a high probability that workers would use private cars to travel [particularly at peak times], with some adverse effect on air quality & road safety.

Mitigation Measures Required Conditions are already placed by the current planning permission relating to the existing building. If developed separately from the adjoining tile warehouse, a new road to be provided for access off Rother Valley Way or Owlthorpe Greenway.

0 Business [Offices], General Industry -The site is 1500 metres or more from the nearest high frequency public transport services [Drakehouse Lane Supertram stop & Crystal Peaks bus station]. But it is within outer Mosborough, another priority area, and could provide the opportunity to create job opportunities targeted at residents of Beighton, an ex-coalfield community. No Development – Would have no direct impact on job provision.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry, No Development - Site not needed for new school, training or education al facilities

0 Business, General Industry General Industry and Warehousing located within 3km of the Motorway but not on (or near) a Strategic Road or on (or near) a strategic road but not within 3km of the Motorway No Development – Retention of this site adjoining the River Rother as green space could provide a limited opportunity to enhance informal recreational provision at Beighton adjoining the Green Belt. But this would be subject to availability of funding, & the site is peripheral to the community.


0 General Industry and Warehousing located within 3km of the Motorway but not on (or near) a Strategic Road or on (or near) a strategic road but not within 3km of the Motorway. No Development - No significant impact on travel patterns likely.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry – Given the relatively limited scale of development likely here, & the possibility that many workers could live locally, these uses would be unlikely to have a significant impact on the transport network or road safety. No Development - Unlikely to have a significant impact on the transport network or road safety.


X X Business, General Industry – Would involve re-use of a site that is part previously developed [albeit somewhat re-vegetated] & partly greenfield. No Development – Could provide an opportunity for enhancement as green space adjoining the River Rother & to complement the nearby Green Belt [but this would be subject to future availability of funding].

10. A quality built environment 0 Business, General Industry – Could lead to some improvement in the quality of the local built environment, through redevelopment of an untidy & unmaintained site that currently contributes little to townscape. No Development – Would not affect the overall quality of the local built environment.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry, No Development – Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, a historic building or area, or an area of industrial heritage.


Business, General Industry – Development of this site adjoining the River Rother & close to the Green Belt could have some positive effect on the attractiveness of the natural environment, by providing associated landscaping on this semi-derelict site. No Development – Could provide an opportunity for enhancement as green space adjoining the River Rother & complementary to the nearby Green Belt [but this would be subject to future availability of funding].

14. Soil resources conserved X X Business, General Industry – Development could result in some soil pollution, as it is partly on greenfield land. No Development – Less likely to cause soil pollution if site retained in open, largely green condition.






X X 0 Business, General Industry - Site immediately adjoins the River Rother, and parts are within PPG25 Zones 2 & 3a. So it is probable that some flood mitigation measures would be needed to allow non-housing development; but some reduction in run off could be achieved. No Development – No implications for flood risk.

0 0 0 Business, General Industry – Implications for waste would depend upon the specific design of new development. No Development – No implications for waste production, recycling or recovery.


0 Business, General Industry – Development would be on the edge of the urban area where some infrastructure should already exist. No Development – Unlikely to require any new physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A triangular site lying to north of Rotherham Road, Beighton. The western part is a disused lorry park; the rest is a small field, formerly used for grazing. Much of the site is now overgrown to varying extents. The tree-lined River Rother adjoins to the north, with large industrial properties in Rotherham just beyond. Beyond Rotherham Road to the south, there are open washland areas in the Green Belt. To the west, an adjoining roadway leads to disused rail sidings further to north, & a freight railway crosses the Rotherham Road level crossing. There is a scrapyard & housing further west, beyond the railway. Vehicle access to/from Mosborough Parkway is restricted at the northern end of Rotherham Road, & an HGV restriction helps reduce traffic through residential areas of Beighton. An application for lorry parking & van hire on the eastern part of the site was refused in the mid 1990s, because of likely impact on the Green Belt environment. A citywide flood risk sequential test has shown that the site is still needed for business or industrial uses but avoiding, as far as possible, land with a high probability of flooding. In some ways this site would be less than ideal for new major Business or General Industrial development:

• it is sited more than 1500 metres from the nearest high frequency public transport services centred on Crystal Peaks • it has fairly poor road links, especially for heaver goods vehicles • extra traffic from higher trip generating uses would be likely to impact on road safety & air quality in the Beighton area • part is greenfield, sited very close to the River Rother, & some flood control may be need to allow development.

But

• the site is relatively small & irregularly shaped, so development is likely to be limited in scale • associated vehicle movements would be relatively low • a well-designed, small scale office/workshop scheme [particularly if it served the local community] could provide clear local

benefits in terms of: a) improving an untidy site b) providing new local jobs & associated training, reducing the need to travel c) enhanced landscape & ecology in a sensitive location beside the River Rother & Green Belt Washlands.

No Development - Long term retention of this site in an upgraded green state could provide some local benefits [particularly if funding to allow its future enhancement as green space could be ensured]. It would;

• remain greenfield

• contribute to the environmental quality of the green corridor along the River Rother & within adjoining areas of Green Belt • enhance the natural history interest of the Local Nature Site alongside the River Rother • provide scope for informal recreational use by Beighton residents.

Mitigation Measures Required Conditions must ensure that there is no adverse impact on the nearby Local Nature Site alongside the River Rother. Mitigation of flood risk, including flood protection measures and design for resilience to flooding, and development located, as far as possible, outside the area with high probability of flooding.

0 0 Housing, No Development – No direct impact on provision of job opportunities.


0 School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here. Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable No Development – No implications for education & training.


0 Housing – Development of this 3 hectare site [although it is outside the HMR area] is likely to create an opportunity to provide some affordable housing in an area of need; & it would be likely to provide a range of other dwelling types to meet a variety of local needs including a high proportion of family homes. No Development – no implications.


0 No Development - Retention as a vacant green site would allow enhancement of the site to provide additional Open Space/recreational space to serve Woodhouse residents, in an area where overall provision is below the minimum guideline. But it is questionable whether this could actually be justified, given the large areas of existing & proposed recreational space in the near locality; nor is there any certainty that funding for enhancement could readily be achieved. Housing - not likely to lead to the loss of recreation space in an area.


0 Housing - Residential uses would be on a site adjoining an existing Housing Area and a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day. No Development – No impact on safety or security.


Housing – The site is within an area where overall provision of recreation space is below the minimum guideline. The site lies further than 400m from a local park and further than 1200m from a District Park but 80% of residential uses would be located within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre. The site immediately adjoins large areas of informal public green space in the Shire Brook Valley; & the adjoining former Beighton Tip has recently been laid out as major new public green space. No Development - Retention as a vacant green site could allow enhancement of the site to provide additional open Space/recreational space to serve Woodhouse residents, in an area where overall provision is below the minimum guideline. But it is questionable whether this could actually be justified, given the large areas of existing & proposed recreational space in the near locality; nor is there any certainty that funding for enhancement could readily be achieved.


0 Residential uses located within 400m of the City Centre or a District Centre or 80% of residential uses within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day or 800m of a Supertram stop] No Development – No significant impact on travel patterns.


X 0 Housing – The proposed use, although relatively low trip-generating, would be likely to lead to some harm to road safety, because the site does not adjoin a high frequency public transport route & extra car use by new residents would be likely to increase traffic through surrounding residential areas. No Development – Unlikely to have a noticeable effect on the transport network. Neutral impact on road safety.


XX Housing – Development of a greenfield site. No Development – Retains the site’s greenfield status.

10. A quality built environment 0 Housing – The site is not derelict; but although green & open it is not maintained, so currently contributes little to the local townscape. Housing use could lead to some improvement in the quality of the local built environment, provided that their built elements involve design & layout of high quality, complementary to the local townscape. No Development - Would not affect overall quality of built environment.


0 0 Housing, No Development – Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or area of industrial heritage.


X Housing - To the south, the site adjoins & overlooks a major high quality greenspace, the Shire Brook Valley in the Green Belt. A wide landscaped buffer sited at the southern end of the development site would form an essential element of these developments, in order to directly complement the Valley’s character, whilst reducing the potential visual impact of large scale development. No Development - Future retention as green space use would supplement and complement local green character, particularly if the quality of the site [currently open & un-maintained] were to be sensitively improved.


X Housing - could potentially have a minor negative effect but the ecological survey shows that development would be acceptable subject to the retention of important groups of trees and hedgerows. No Development - Future retention as green space could provide some benefit for the adjoining Shire Brook Valley Local Nature Site/Local Nature Reserve, by maintaining an open green link into the Green Corridor, of particular benefit to wildlife movement.

14. Soil resources conserved X Housing – A large built development on greenfield land could result in some soil pollution. No Development - Future retention of this previously farmed site as green space would be unlikely to impact adversely on the soil quality of the site.


X 0 Housing - Could result in some limited additional water pollution. No Development – Retention as green space should not adversely affect water resources.


X 0 Housing - The site does not adjoin a high frequency public transport route, so extra car use would be likely to create some conflict with the aim of improving air quality. No Development – Minimal impact upon air quality.


0 Housing, No Development - Minimal risk from flooding, given the site’s elevated location within Flood Zone 1. Major new development here would provide a significant opportunity to reduce run–off.


0 Housing – Impact of development on how energy & resources are used would depend on the specific character of the design. There is a strong likelihood that development of this scale would provide renewable energy resources. No Development – Minimal impact on energy & mineral use.


0 0 Housing – The influence of development on waste production & the maximum re-use, recycling & recovery of waste would depend on its detailed design. No Development – Involves minimal waste production


0 0 Housing – Woodhouse Mill STW is currently being upgraded with completion scheduled by the end of 2013. No Development – Requires little or no new physical infrastructure

Summary of main impacts Provides a good opportunity for new housing development in an area where family housing is desirable and in a location that is reasonably sustainable. Main impact involves development of greenfield land and potential impact on open space/adjacent ecological interests; however, this can be mitigated through the measures below.

Mitigation Measures Required Provision of new/improved open space and links to the adjacent Shirebrook valley, including cycle routes, could be improved and formalised to encourage access to this area. Public access to the Shirebrook valley here must be retained. An ecological survey of the site shows that development would be acceptable subject to the retention of important hedgerows and groups of trees.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses

This site on the northern fringe of Frecheville, at the junction of Birley Moor Road with Birley Vale Avenue, is at present occupied by two detached buildings, a squash club & a snooker hall, served by adjoining car parking. Immediately beyond the site’s north-western boundary, densely wooded slopes with landscape & natural history value fall away steeply to the Shire Brook below. Birley Vale Avenue serves both nearby housing & an industrial area. Planning approval was granted on 17 October 2008 for the demolition of the existing premises & the site’s redevelopment with 49 flats & 12 dwellings. Housing would be the most sustainable use for this brownfield site: (a) It is located within an established residential area. (b) It presents no major site problems. (c) It can be readily accessed from adjoining roads & footpaths. (d) Necessary utility services can be readily provided. (e) Minor air quality & traffic impacts should be minimised at planning application stage. (f) Recreation space to serve new residents would be readily available within reasonable distance. Frecheville Playing Fields, Jaunty Park & Frecheville Heath provide playing fields & areas of informal open space within 500 metres walk of the site (g) Education provision would be likely to cater for extra need. The nearest primary school is Intake Primary 500 metres walk away. The Birley Community College [which includes both primary & secondary schools] is about 1250 metres walk away. (h) The nearest Neighourhood Centre at Birley Moor Road is about 500 metres away on foot, with a good range of shops & other facilities. (i) High frequency bus services, which provide direct links to major shops & the City Centre, are available on Birley Moor Road, adjoining the site. Mitigation Measures Required Conditions are already placed by the current planning permission.

0 0 Housing – Would have no direct impact on provision of job opportunities


0 Housing – School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here. Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable


Housing – Proposed redevelopment will provide a varied range of accommodation tailored to existing tenants’ & owners’ needs. Will include provision of affordable housing in an area of need. Likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.


0 0 Housing – Would have no significant implications for health.


Housing – Would be within an existing Housing Area and adjoins a high frequency public transport route


Housing – A small existing park is centrally located within the estate, but no District Park is available within 1200 metres. Recreation space provision is below UDP minimum guidelines. 50-400 metres from Supertram stops & the 95 high frequency bus route linking directly with the City Centre.


Residential uses located within the City Centre or in a District Centre or 80% within [800m of a railway station or Supertram stop or 400m of a high or medium frequency bus route (at least 6 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day)] Housing – Would be 50-400 metres walk from the Birley Moor Road & Birley Lane tram stops, & 95 high frequency bus services, providing easy direct access to the City Centre & Crystal Peaks District Centre. Up to 400 metres on foot to the small Birley Moor Cresent Neighbourhood Centre & up to 1000 metres on foot from the larger Neighbourhood Centre at Birley Moor Road.


0 0 Housing – There will be an increase in resident numbers after redevelopment. However, extra car use is not likely to have an excessive impact on the transport network or on road safety.


0 Housing – Redevelopment of a brownfield housing site.

10. A quality built environment 0 Housing – Proposed redevelopment would replace unattractive older dwellings [in poor condition within a degraded environment] with a variety of good quality houses set in a local environment of much higher quality.


0 0 Housing – Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or area of industrial heritage.


0 Housing – Would have limited beneficial effect on the quality of the local natural environment due to new landscaping within the new housing area & any associated open space.


0 0 Housing – Would not affect a designated nature conservation site or impact upon bio-diversity.

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure Housing – Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area, where most necessary infrastructure is known to be available.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A 1960s Council housing estate, south of Frecheville & east of Birley, with nearby Supertram & bus stops. 242 flat-roofed ‘Vic Hallam’ houses in poor condition, costly to maintain, with an attractive landscaped central open space. Elongated buffer open spaces [with mature trees] border Birley Lane & Birley Moor Road. Garage court & small green areas on SW edge. Phased redevelopment [resulting in a slight increase in the number of dwellings] will provide a range of new houses within an enhanced residential environment. Phase A is now complete. In addition, planning permission was granted in August 2012 for 20 units on part of phase B. No further phases are to be developed just yet. Some properties are still to be demolished but this won't be complete until all households are rehoused. The developers, Home, are required to complete this new development phase by the end of March 2014, commencing in October 2012, but no further development on top of that will take place before March 2015 at the earliest as this is when the current HCA funding programme comes to an end and plans for the following period have not been started yet.

The site is extremely well suited for a Housing redevelopment that would involve a limited number of additional residents: • It is a brownfield site within the urban area, where necessary infrastructure exists. • It is close to high frequency public transport, by both tram & bus, allowing ready access to facilities in the City Centre & Crystal

Peaks District Centre. • There would be some additional car traffic from an increased number of residents, but impact on air quality or road safety likely

to be limited. • Although the site is more than 1200 metres from a District Park, & local recreation space provision is below UDP minimum

guidelines, there is a small local park centrally located within the existing estate, that should be retained or replaced as part of development.

• New housing will replace outmoded single-type dwellings in a poor townscape with a varied range of high quality modern houses within an upgraded residential setting that can provide some benefit to the wider local environment.

• Disadvantaged people will benefit from affordable housing & a range of dwelling types & tenures. • Education provision can be achieved.

0 0 Housing or Business - The site is not needed to provide open space or to locate a health facility, nor is it affected by pollution or severe land contamination. No Development –This site could reinforce the value to residents & wildlife of adjoining areas already protected as Open Space Area & Green Belt, particularly if its landscape, natural history & recreational value are suitably enhanced.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Site C is one of several greenfield sites at Owlthorpe proposed for housing in the adopted UDP [including adjoining Sites D & E (Sites P00381 & P00382)] and confirmed in the SDF Core Strategy, approved in 2009. It was intended to form part of a comprehensive development that would also include a green framework of open space, enhanced foot/cycle access, a new road access loop [suited to bus operation] & an enlarged Village Centre. Only the isolated Woodlands Heights estate & doctors’ surgery, with their access road, have so far been built. Although greenfield, Owlthorpe Sites C, D & E are located reasonably close to the edge of the existing residential area, & near to a high frequency public transport route [the tram stop at Donetsk Way is within 800 metres]. Development of housing on Owlthorpe Sites C, D & E should allow a range of benefits to be achieved from the planned completion of the Owlthorpe Township: • Completion of the local green framework to provide a varied range of landscape, ecological & recreational benefits • A completed Moorthorpe Way link road would potentially allow ready provision of regular bus access, & easier car access from

existing residential areas to the N of Ochre Dike • An improved local pedestrian/cycle network [with better links to & from the tram stop, across the Ochre Dike & into surrounding

green spaces]. • Provision of a local convenience shop in the Local Centre would be a condition of development unless its provision was proven to

be unviable [with more residents nearby & easier access by foot or car from surrounding areas]. No demand to date for larger business [office] sites in SE Sheffield. And far more sustainable brownfield business sites are likely to be available in more accessible locations elsewhere in Sheffield [focused on the City Centre]. The site is not well suited to office use. Although quite close to a Supertram stop, the site is much further away from high frequency bus routes [although development might possibly lead to provision of a new bus service through Owlthorpe]. Nearby areas are overwhelmingly residential in character & the site is not directly adjacent to a strategic road. So the impact of extra car traffic, particularly at peak hours, is likely to have a major adverse effect on local road safety & air quality. No Development - If this site could be retained & appropriately enhanced as green space [as Open Space, or possibly Green Belt], it could provide additional ecological, natural environmental & recreational benefits for people & wildlife in the locality, complementing &

reinforcing adjoining areas already protected as UDP Open Space & Green Belt, provided that necessary funding could be found. Mitigation Measures Required Protection of green framework of open space including areas of nature conservation interest that form part of the Council’s environmental improvement programme for the area. Development of a convenience shop unless it can be demonstrated that it would be unviable. Incorporation of proposed walking routes through the area. Future provision of a regular bus service using the completed Moorthorpe Way loop is highly desirable although not actually required in highways terms in order to serve the development.

be unviable [with more residents nearby & easier access by foot or car from surrounding areas]. No demand to date for larger business [office] sites in SE Sheffield. And far more sustainable brownfield business sites are likely to be available in more accessible locations elsewhere in Sheffield [focused on the City Centre]. The site is not well suited to office use.

Although close to a Supertram stop, the site is much further away from high frequency bus routes [although development might possibly lead to provision of a new bus service through Owlthorpe]. Nearby areas are overwhelmingly residential in character & the site is not directly adjacent to a strategic road. So the impact of extra car traffic, particularly at peak hours, is likely to have a major adverse effect on local road safety & air quality. No Development - If this site could be retained & appropriately enhanced as green space [as Open Space, or possibly Green Belt], it could provide additional ecological, natural environmental & recreational benefits for people & wildlife in the locality, complementing & reinforcing adjoining areas already protected as UDP Open Space & Green Belt, provided that necessary funding could be found. Mitigation Measures Required Protection of green framework of open space including areas of nature conservation interest that form part of the Council’s environmental improvement programme for the area. Development of a convenience shop unless it can be demonstrated that it would be unviable. Incorporation of proposed walking routes through the area. Future provision of a regular bus service using the completed Moorthorpe Way loop is highly desirable although not actually required in highways terms in order to serve the development.

0 0 0 Business [Offices] could provide a significant employment opportunity, outside the City Centre & Priority Economic Regeneration Areas, but within 400m of a Supertram stop that provides a direct link with disadvantaged areas (i.e. a fairly accessible location for people on low incomes). But the site is unlikely to be attractive to a Business developer (taking into account nearby uses, road access requirements, distance from strategic roads, etc). Housing & No Development would have no direct impact on provision of job opportunities


0 0 Housing - School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here. Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable Business [Offices] & No Development would have no direct impact on provision of job opportunities


0 0 Housing development is likely to provide an opportunity to provide affordable housing and/ or supported accommodation for people in need of care in an area of need. Business [Offices] & No Development would have no direct impact on provision of decent housing.


0 0 Housing or Business - The site is not needed to provide open space or to locate a health facility, nor is it affected by pollution or severe land contamination. No Development –This site could reinforce the value to residents & wildlife of adjoining areas already protected as UDP Open Space & Green Belt, particularly if its landscape, natural history & recreational value are suitably enhanced. But if this & adjoining sites are not developed for housing, early funding to provide a wider range of new local recreational opportunities is far less likely to become available.


X 0 0 Housing – Residential uses in a housing area but the site does not adjoin either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour per day or a Supertram route. Business [Offices] & No Development – No obvious impact on safety or security


X 0 Housing – Some open spaces are already available within 400 metres walk [including a new meadow with kick pitch immediately east of this site, linear green spaces alongside the Ochre Dike & on Moorhole Farm hill top area & a small playground on Edenthorpe estate within 400 metres] but there is no local park within 400m or a District Park within 1200m. 80% of residential uses would be located within 400-800m of a supertram route but there is no local park within 400m or a District Park within 1200m. 80% of residential uses would be located within 400-800m of a supertram route. There are however numerous formal and informal footpaths/bridleways in the surrounding area, including the Owlthorpe Heritage & Nature Trail. Supertram [within 400 metres walk] provides a public transport link to many leisure & cultural facilities in the City Centre. No Development - This & adjoining sites could reinforce the value to residents & wildlife of adjoining areas already protected as Open Space Area & Green Belt, particularly if its landscape, natural history & recreational value are suitably enhanced. But if they are not developed for housing, early funding to provide a wider range of new local recreational opportunities is less likely to become available. Business – Would not affect a local park or provision of recreation space.


0 Housing – The site is less than 800 metres on foot from the Donetsk Way Supertram stop. If this & two adjoining sites are developed for housing, there is also a high probability that a regular bus service alongside the site will become available, via the completed Moorthorpe Way access loop. Business – Offices would be within 400 metres of high frequency public transport route [Donetsk Way Supertram stop. No Development – No significant impact on travel patterns









0 Housing – Eco-friendly landscaping associated with new housing could support & enhance bio-diversity of the adjoining local green link & the nearby Local Nature Site. Housing development on this [& 2 other] Owlthorpe sites would provide new Section 106 funding to pump-prime the implementation of planned improvements to the local green framework, including enhancement of natural habitats. Business – Eco-friendly landscaping associated with new business could support & enhance bio-diversity of the adjoining local green link & the nearby Local Nature Site. But new Section 106 funding for planned enhancement of natural habitats in the local green framework would be less likely than with housing development. No Development – Retention of this site [& the 2 adjoining] as open space would reinforce the existing landscape & natural environment of the area south of Ochre Dike, as one element in the wider local green network, provided that appropriate enhancement of these sites could be funded.



X X 0 Housing, Business - Could result in some limited additional water pollution No Development – Retention as green space should not adversely affect water resources.




0 Housing, Business – Site is within Flood Zone 1. Although within 50 metres of the Ochre Dike at its closes point, development of this site is not expected to be significantly affected by flood risk. But new development here would provide some opportunity to reduce run–off [although it is questionable whether this would be appropriate in the catchment of the Ochre Dike, which quite often dries up during dry spells]. No Development – Minimal risk from flooding results from the site’s retention as green space







Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Site C is one of several greenfield sites at Owlthorpe proposed for housing in the adopted UDP [including adjoining Sites D & E (Sites P00381 & P00382)] and confirmed in the SDF Core Strategy, approved in 2009. It was intended to form part of a comprehensive development that would also include a green framework of open space, enhanced foot/cycle access, a new road access loop [suited to bus operation] & an enlarged Village Centre. Only the isolated Woodlands Heights estate & doctors’ surgery, with their access road, have so far been built. Although greenfield, Owlthorpe Sites C, D & E are located reasonably close to the edge of the existing residential area, & near to a high frequency public transport route [the tram stop at Donetsk Way is within 800 metres]. Development of housing on Owlthorpe Sites C, D & E should allow a range of benefits to be achieved from the planned completion of the Owlthorpe Township: • Completion of the local green framework to provide a varied range of landscape, ecological & recreational benefits • The completed Moorthorpe Way link road would allow ready provision of regular bus access, & easier car access from existing

residential areas to the N of Ochre Dike • A greatly improved local pedestrian/cycle network [with better links to & from the tram stop, across the Ochre Dike & into

surrounding green spaces]. • Provision of a local convenience shop in the Local Centre would be a condition of development unless its provision was proven to

be unviable [with more residents nearby & easier access by foot or car from surrounding areas]. No demand to date for larger business [office] sites in SE Sheffield. And far more sustainable brownfield business sites are likely to be available in more accessible locations elsewhere in Sheffield [focused on the City Centre]. The site is not well suited to office use. Although close to a Supertram stop, the site is much further away from high frequency bus routes [although development might possibly lead to provision of a new bus service through Owlthorpe]. Nearby areas are overwhelmingly residential in character & the site is not directly adjacent to a strategic road. So the impact of extra car traffic, particularly at peak hours, is likely to have a major adverse effect on local road safety & air quality.

0 X X 0 Business [Offices] – Business use would result in a significant employment site being located outside the City Centre & Priority Economic Regeneration Area, although within outer Mosborough, another priority area. The majority of the site is further than 800 metres on foot of the nearest high frequency public transport route [Supertram terminus at Halfway]. Development of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. General Industry/Warehousing – Would result in a significant employment site being located outside the City Centre or Priority Economic Regeneration Area, although within outer Mosborough, another priority area. The majority of the site is further than 800 metres on foot of the nearest high frequency public transport route [Supertram terminus at Halfway]. Development of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. Housing, No Development – Would have no direct impact on provision of job opportunities.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – Site not needed for a new school or other education facility, & not proposed for housing. Housing – School capacity can be projected for only a limited period and there is no issue yet identified here. Any shortage of capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable


0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – Proposal is not for employment use. Housing – Some affordable housing in an area of need, & a varied range of housing types to meet a variety of needs would be expected. Residential development likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.


X 0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – No obvious direct implications for health. Part of the western edge of this site is quite close to dwellings sited to the west of Oxclose Park Road, & to the south it is only 50 metres from dwellings at Heathlands. But the existing planning approval for Business & General Industry on this site requires provision of a landscaped buffer strip as part of development to help minimise adverse effects on residents. Housing – Residential use on parts of the site would be close to a source of noise & other disturbance within an existing industrial operation [Lavers].


0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – No impact on safety or security Housing – Residential uses in a housing area and the site adjoins a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour per day. Provision of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site.


0 0 0 Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Does not affect a local park or provision of recreation space. Housing – A new local park has recently been provided (Heathlands), less than 400 metres from the site to the west that will provide a variety of recreational facilities to serve residents of existing nearby housing estates. The site is within 800 metres on foot of the Halfway Supertram terminus and is within 1200m of a District Park (Rother Valley Country Park). No Development – Provision of the nearby community park would make it unlikely that a major new open space on this site could be justified.


X X X 0 Residential uses within the existing built-up area but - some of site but less than 80% within [400m from a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day or 800m of a railway station or Supertram] Housing - Residential use would partly be within 800 metres on foot of the Supertram terminus at Halfway although, especially given the size of the site, some increased use of the private car would inevitably arise. The site is also close to a large supermarket which contains ATMs and a pharmacy. Development of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. Business – Office development would be located outside the City Centre & District Centres, but part within 800 metres on foot of the Supertram terminus at Halfway. Development of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. General Industry/Warehousing – Would be located more than 3 km. from the M1 Motorway, & would not be on a Strategic Road, No Development – No significant impact on travel patterns.


X X X 0 Housing – Major residential development, although within 800m of the Halfway tram terminus, would be likely to lead to extra car travel – which would lead to some harm to road safety, locally & elsewhere. Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Could have minor detrimental impacts on the transport network, impacting on road safety, locally & further afield [extra car usage by workers; extra public transport use, especially at peak time by office workers, could stretch public transport capacity]. No Development - No noticeable impact on transport network, & neutral effect on road safety


XX XX XX Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Development of a greenfield site. No Development – Retains greenfield status of site.

10. A quality built environment 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing, Could lead to some improvement to the quality of local built environment, through redevelopment of a site which is not derelict but contributes little to townscape. No Development – No implications for the quality of the built environment.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/Warehousing, No Development – Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or area of industrial heritage.


0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Would not affect the attractiveness of the Green Belt or natural environment. No Development – Retention as open space could have some positive effect on the natural environment.


0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Would not directly affect a designated nature conservation site or impact on bio-diversity. No Development – Retention as green space could provide potential for the site to reinforce the quality of local bio-diversity, as it directly adjoins parts of an existing Site of Importance For Nature Conservation [on the former Holbrook Colliery, to the west].

14. Soil resources conserved X X X Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Development of greenfield land could result in some soil pollution No Development – Retention in greenfield condition should not adversely affect the soil quality on this previously -farmed site.


X X X Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Could result in some limited additional water pollution. No Development – Retention as green space should not adversely affect water resources.


X X X 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Likely to be in some conflict with the aim of improving air quality, by increasing the need to travel & encouraging increased use of private cars, although within 800m of the Halfway tram terminus. No Development – Minimal impact upon air quality.


0 Housing, Business, General Industry /Warehousing – Development of this site, in Flood Zone 1, is not expected to be significantly affected by flood risk. But large scale development could provide a significant opportunity to reduce run off. No Development – Minimal risk from flooding results from the site’s retention as green space.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/ Warehousing – Impact of development on how energy & resources are used would depend on the specific character of the design. No Development – Minimal impact on energy & mineral use.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/Warehousing – The influence of development on waste production & the maximum re-use, recycling & recovery of waste would depend on its detailed design. No Development – Involves minimal waste production.


0 0 0 0 Housing, Business, General Industry/Warehousing – Development would be on a greenfield site within an area of on-going development at the edge of the urban area, where existing infrastructure already serves nearby housing areas & industrial operations. Woodhouse Mill Waste Water Treatment Plant is currently being upgraded with a scheduled completion date of the end of 2013. No Development – Requires little or no new physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A large overgrown site on the urban periphery at Oxclose in the far south east of Sheffield. Large residential estates are located nearby, to the south west of the site [Heathlands] & to the west [Oxclose Park], where existing open space will shortly be extended & improved to provide a range of facilities in a new community park. The large former Holbrook Colliery, heavily overgrown but of major natural history interest adjoins the site on its east side. Lavers’ major timber production/distribution centre lies immediately to the north, with other industrial activities beyond. Morrisons supermarket lies further to the north-west, off Oxclose Park Road. This is the only un-developed site left at Oxclose Park. The site currently has no road access, but planning permission has been granted for the development of business & general industrial development on the site, on several ‘plateaux’ sites separated by steep landscaped slopes. Development also requires the laying out of a new road link southwards off Oxclose Park Road, which will provide access to this site & continue southwards to provide a bus–only link into Deepwell Avenue on the Heathlands estate. Landscaped buffers are required as part of development, to protect residents of nearby estates. Housing - Residential development would be likely to provide an opportunity to provide some affordable housing in an area of need, & a wider range of options for new home seekers. In particular, residential development is likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes. A new local park has been completed (Heathlands), less than 400 metres from the site to the west. But the site is not conveniently located for access to built leisure facilities. It is a large greenfiield site, & parts of the site closely adjoin a potential source of disturbance from an existing industrial area. Housing would be outside a Housing Area, although there are extensive housing estates close by to the south west & the west [Oxclose Park]. The site is, however, within easy walking distance of a large supermarket, which includes a pharmacy and ATMs. Part of the site is also within 800m of the Supertram terminus at Halfway, and provision of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. Nevertheless, greater car use is likely to be encouraged, impacting upon air quality & road safety. A recent planning appeal decision (March 2012) in relation to the decision by the Council to refuse planning permission for a retail store has confirmed that the whole of the Oxclose Farm site allocation should be retained for housing development. Business, General Industry - Business or general industrial use would result in a significant employment site being located outside the City Centre & Priority Economic Regeneration Area, although in outer Mosborough, another priority area. The site is within 800 of the Supertram terminus at Halfway, and provision of a new road access through Oxclose Park as part of the approved development could eventually allow the provision of a less frequent bus service closer to the site. Business or general industrial use is unlikely to minimise the need to travel or promote the use of sustainable transport, and office use in particular as a generator of additional journeys is considered unacceptable. So it would have some impact on road safety, locally & further afield [especially at peak times] & would conflict somewhat with the aim of improving air quality. Development would be on a greenfield site within an area of on-going development at the edge of the urban area, where existing nearby infrastructure already serves housing areas & industrial operations. No Development - Retention of the site as green space could provide an opportunity to reinforce the quality of local bio-diversity [by

reinforcing the character of the adjoining Site of Importance For Nature Conservation on the former Holbrook Colliery to the west] & could positively affect the area’s visual interest by maintaining its green & open character. But once the new community park nearby has been completed to serve local residents, it is unlikely that retention of another large green space in the locality could be justified on recreational grounds. Mitigation Measures Required Partial remodelling to provide flat areas for development, and a new road access Adequate screening and layout to ensure that there is no conflict with nearby employment use Site Ref: P00387 Type of Allocation: Housing Site Site Area: 10.94 ha Policy Area: Housing Area Site Address: Scowerdons Estate, Hackenthorpe

Housing – proposed redevelopment will provide a varied range of accommodation tailored to existing tenants’ & owners’ needs. Will include provision of affordable housing in an area of need. Residential development likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes.




X Housing – Residential uses in a housing area and the site adjoins a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour per day.


X Housing – Recreation space provision is below UDP minimum guidelines. Distant Local Parks [Occupation Lane, Hackenthorpe & Frecheville Pond] & a District [Richmond Park] are all more than 1000 metres away by foot, but very extensive Green Belt areas for informal play adjoin on 3 sides. Existing recreation space/play facilities [on & immediately adjoining the site] should be retained or replaced on site. Distant from Supertram stops & high frequency bus routes linking directly with the City Centre but 80% of residential uses would be within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day.


0 Housing – 80% of residential uses would be within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day.


0 0 Housing – There will be an increase in resident numbers after redevelopment. However, extra car use is not likely to have an excessive impact on the transport network or on road safety.







Housing – Would have limited beneficial effect on the quality of the local natural environment due to new landscaping within the new housing area & any associated open space.


0 0 Housing – Should not adversely affect the bio-diversity of designated nature conservation sites in nearby areas of the Shire Brook Valley [within the Green Belt], although some beneficial effects might result.







0 Housing – No obvious flood risk implications, as within Flood Zone 1. A substantial reduction in run-off could be achieved.






Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses A 1960s Council housing estate, on prominent north-facing slopes above the Shire Brook Valley. Contains an attractive landscaped central open space, & served by an adjoining playground & small kick pitch. Sits within a wooded Green Belt setting [accessible on 3 sides]. A local shop, community centre, community house & public house serve the estate, but it is isolated from many social & community facilities. 359 flat-roofed ‘Vic Hallam’ houses, mostly in poor condition & costly to maintain. Phased redevelopment [with a slight increase in the number of dwellings] will provide a range of new houses within an enhanced residential environment. Phases 1 and 1a are now complete (38 and 68 units respectively) and planning permission was granted in late 2012 for 34 more units across two sites on the estate (part of phase B and phase C2). The last rehousing phase was declared for demolition in April 2012. Some properties are still to be demolished. The developers, Home, are required to complete these new development phases by the end of March 2014, with a provisional start date of February 2013, but no further development on top of that will take place before March 2015 at the earliest, as this is when the current HCA funding programme comes to an end and plans for the following period have not been started yet. In many respects, the site is fairly well suited for a Housing redevelopment that would result in a limited number of additional residents:

• It is a brownfield site within the urban area, where necessary infrastructure exists. • New housing will replace outmoded single-type dwellings in a poor townscape with a varied range of high quality modern

houses within an upgraded residential setting that can provide some benefit to the wider local environment. • Disadvantaged people will benefit from affordable housing & a range of dwelling types & tenures. • Education provision can be achieved. • There would be some additional car traffic from an increased number of residents, but impact on air quality or road safety likely

to be limited. • But it is distant from high frequency public transport, by both tram & bus, so lacks ready access to facilities in the City Centre &

Crystal Peaks District Centre. • And, although the site is more than 1200 metres from a District Park, & local recreation space provision is below UDP minimum

guidelines, there is a small local park centrally located within the existing estate, that should be retained or replaced as part of development, & there is ready access to the adjoining Green Belt for informal activities.

Housing – Would be less than 100 metres walk from the Birley Moor Road tram stop, & high frequency bus services also pass nearby, providing easy direct access to the City Centre & Crystal Peaks District Centre. Just over 800 metres on foot from nearest larger Neighbourhood Centres at Birley Moor Road & Birley Spa Lane.


0 0 Housing – Limited increase in resident numbers after redevelopment. So proposed use unlikely to have any noticeable impact on the transport network. Neutral impact on road safety.







0 Housing – Would have limited beneficial effect on the quality of the local natural environment due to new landscaping within the new housing area & any associated open space.


0 0 Housing – Would not affect a designated nature conservation site or impact upon bio-diversity.







0 Housing – No obvious flood risk implications, as within Flood Zone 1. A significant reduction in run-off could be achieved.






Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Part of a 1960s Council housing estate in south Hackenthorpe with nearby Supertram & bus stops. Elongated open space buffer strip separates Weakland from Birley Moor Road & Sheffield Road. 98 flat-roofed ‘Vic Hallam’ houses in poor condition, costly to maintain & with little open space within site. Phased redevelopment will replace substandard dwellings with a wide range of high quality modern dwellings within an enhanced residential environment. Much of the site has now been developed. The remaining undeveloped part of the estate, around 1 hectare, will not be developed until beyond 2015. All demolition is complete. The site is extremely well suited for a Housing redevelopment, resulting in a limited number of additional residents:

• It is a brownfield site within the urban area, where necessary infrastructure exists. • It is close to high frequency public transport, by both tram & bus, allowing ready access to facilities in the City Centre & Crystal

Peaks District Centre. • There would be little additional car traffic, so little likely impact on air quality or road safety. • There is a local park at Occupation Lane within 400 metres of the site, & an informal buffer strip with playground adjoins the

site, although it is more than 1200 metres from a District Park. • New housing will replace outmoded single-type dwellings in a poor townscape with a varied range of high quality modern

houses within an upgraded residential setting that can provide some benefit to the wider local environment. • Disadvantaged people will benefit from affordable housing & a range of dwelling types & tenures. • Education provision can be achieved.

0 Housing – Involves development of a brownfield site. No Development – No implications for efficient use of land.

10. A quality built environment X Housing – Could lead to some improvement in the quality of the local built environment by redevelopment of a site that, if left undeveloped after closure of the school, would contribute little to townscape. No Development – Could lead to some negative impact on the quality of the local built environment, if site remains undeveloped for a long period after closure of the school.


0 0 Housing, No Development - Would not affect an archaeological site or its setting, historic building or area, or an area of industrial heritage.


X Housing – Could have some positive effect on the attractiveness of the natural environment close to the Green Belt, by providing appropriate landscaping as part of the development. No Development – If left undeveloped & neglected for a long period, the deteriorating condition of the site would be likely to have some negative impact on the attractiveness of the natural environment.

14. Soil resources conserved 0 0 Housing, No Development – Would not be on contaminated land or a greenfield site.


0 0 Housing, No Development – No likely impact on water resources.


X 0 Housing – Likely to be in some conflict with air quality objectives, by creating some extra need to travel & greater private car usage, when compared to previous school use on the site. No Development - Likely to have little or no impact on air quality.


0 Housing – Development of this site is not expected to be significantly affected by flood risk, as it lies within Flood Zone 1. But development could provide a significant opportunity to reduce run off. No Development - Minimal risk from flooding results from site remaining undeveloped.


0 0 Housing – Impact of development on how energy & resources are used would depend on the specific character of the design. No Development - Minimal impact on energy & mineral use.


0 0 Housing - The influence of development on waste production & the maximum re-use, recycling & recovery of waste would depend on its detailed design. No Development - Involves minimal waste production.

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X 0 Housing – Development would be on previously developed land within the urban area, where most necessary infrastructure is known to be available. Woodhouse Mill Waste Water Treatment Plant is currently being upgraded with a scheduled completion date of the end of 2013. No Development – Requires no new physical infrastructure.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The former site of Westfield Secondary School, cleared of buildings following the school’s closure. Multi-level site in a residential part of Mosborough Village that rises quite steeply up to ridgeline overlooking the Green Belt. Outline planning applications for housing development on most of site received July 2006. A new main access road from Moss Way will be needed to access new development, across landscaped open space to the east. Planning permission was granted to Sheffield & Hallamshire FA in October 2011 on the adjacent land to the north for the erection of community football centre with pavilion including changing rooms, offices, gym, studio, training and social rooms; artificial turf pitches with floodlighting; groundsman's store, car park and laying out of access road. Housing would provide a reasonably sustainable use on this site – it is brownfield; any shortage of school capacity caused or exacerbated by housing development is likely to be resolvable; residential development is likely to deliver a high proportion of family homes; there are adjoining playing fields and a network of paths giving ready access to extensive countryside areas; there is no unacceptable impact on areas of ecological value. It is located within 800m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 3 buses per hour during the day but is beyond 800m of a high frequency public transport route. There appear to be no obvious advantages arising from no development. There is no need to retain the site as extra public open space in future, given the wide variety of recreation spaces already available nearby. And if retained undeveloped for any lengthy period it would be very likely to impact adversely on the character of the local townscape & the adjoining Green Belt, potentially creating a focus for vandalism & anti-social behaviour.

Mitigation Measures Required Planning & Design Brief required. Sensitive boundary treatment particularly adjacent to existing residential areas and the Green Belt required. Ensure links are made between new housing development and existing/proposed footpaths and cycleways. Take into account and integrate with the planning permission for the football centre on the adjacent land, including the proposed new road to Moss Way.

0 0 Depends on detailed design matters.


0 Development on the urban edge where some level of infrastructure already exists.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The area lies within a Housing Area designation in the Sheffield UDP, so the principle of housing development has previously been accepted. Due to changing household projections and housing land supply over time, the area has previously been proposed to be changed from Housing Area to Open Space Area in the SDF. However, given the city’s current shortage of housing land, in particular with regard to maintaining a 5 year supply of land, the site is now proposed for housing in order to meet the shortfall of identified sites in the city in a location where family housing in particular can be developed and marketed. A mainly greenfield site of around 2.12 hectares whose development will give rise to some additional traffic. Development also must take account of biodiversity interests and retain/improve open space of value within the site.

Mitigation Measures Required Design of development should seek to minimise impact of additional traffic. The development must seek to minimise any adverse impact on areas of nature conservation interest, and also ensure that on-site open space is provided and that any development retains the open space and woodland forming part of the Green Link on the embankments. Consultation with appropriate Council departments and external bodies would need to be undertaken to establish more detail on these issues prior to any planning application being submitted and throughout the planning application process itself.

0 Development on the urban edge where some level of infrastructure already exists.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The area is allocated for housing in the Sheffield UDP, so the principle of housing development has previously been accepted. Due to changing household projections and housing land supply over time, the area had been proposed to be removed from the housing allocation and re-designated as Countryside Area. However, given the city’s current shortage of housing land, in particular with regard to maintaining a 5 year supply of land, the site is again proposed for housing in order to meet the shortfall of identified sites in the city in a location where family housing in particular can be developed and marketed. Greenfield site of around 10 hectares – although a significant proportion will be retained/improved as open space - whose development will give rise to some additional traffic. Development also must take account of biodiversity interests both adjoining and within (e.g. hedgerows) within the site. An archaeological assessment of the site shows that any features of interest can be dealt with at planning application stage. Given its location the development must be designed so as to complement the existing built form and landscape of the area; a Planning & Design Brief will be required including the full involvement of, and consultation with, the local community.

Mitigation Measures Required Design of development should seek to minimise impact of additional traffic; measures to improve public transport accessibility along Beighton Road may need to be considered although the road is served by a bus route with at least 3 buses per hour to the City Centre during the day. The development must seek to minimise any adverse impact on areas of nature conservation interest. Areas of archaeological interest would need to be dealt with as part of the planning application process. A Planning and Design Brief would be required - consultation with appropriate Council departments and external bodies, including full local community consultation, would need to be undertaken prior to any planning application being submitted and throughout the planning application process itself.

20. Efficient use of physical infrastructure X 0

Site is greenfield and significant amount of physical infrastructure would have to be provided. However, the site is relatively close to existing industrial uses and the relevant supplies are relatively easy to provide.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses B2 use is the recommended land use for this site, even though its development is relatively unsustainable. Use would provide jobs and is relatively well located for public transport and proximity to the M1. Development could also improve the quality of the immediate built environment. Its development is relatively unsustainable as it’s on a greenfield site where the necessary infrastructure is not likely to be available to the site. Access to the site is very difficult to determine and could require encroachment onto adjoining Green Belt land to gain satisfactory vehicular access to the site if access can’t be gained from adjacent third party land. As the site is not used there would be a significant increase in the number of vehicles visiting the site hence there would be a significant rise in green house gas emissions. The end use is also likely to contaminate the land and surface water. Mitigation Measures Required Safe pedestrian links would need to be provided to the site in order to maximise the use of public transport at the planning application stage. It is also recommended that a travel plan be submitted with the planning application. Insufficient infrastructure, potential water pollution and drainage should be dealt with at the planning application stage.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site’s development for B1, B2 or B8 uses would provide jobs in a priority area, it’s a brownfield site where some infrastructure required to develop the site is likely to be available. The site has good connections to the M1 Junction 35 its development would improve the built townscape. However, the development may have a negative impact on the nature conservation site covering it and it is poorly located for public transport leading heavy reliance on the private car and having a negative affect on air quality. This has been partially mitigated by the redirection of the 88/88A bus route to the site at the end of January 2012 and has been reflected in this assessment. The negatives can be mitigated and therefore the positives carry greater weight. Mitigation Measures Required A travel plan should be submitted with any application, The affects on the nature conservation site and the flood risk can be addressed at the planning application stage.

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses The site has outline planning permission subject to a signed legal agreement. Residential development of arguably the most constrained site in Sheffield is sustainable. Mitigation Measures Required To ensure that the benefits of the site’s location are fully realised it’s recommended that a travel plan be requested as part of any planning application for development. Flood alleviation measures will be required to a relatively small area of the site. The remote location of the site needs to address by securing good pedestrian links to the high frequency bus route at either end of the site.

The sites previous use contributed little to the built environment; it contaminated the site and the River Little Don. Its development for housing would reclaim the site, would provide affordable housing either on site or through a financial contribution and would improve both the built environment and the natural landscape surrounding the site. However, the may be capacity problems for local schools when its cumulative impact is taken into account. The site is adjacent to the existing Corus works, which is a source of noise pollution. The sites development may cause congestion on the adjacent Stocksbridge bypass and the local water treatment works is at capacity and cannot cope with the development. Mitigation Measures Required The capacity problem with the local schools could be remedied by contributions towards school places. The water treatment works capacity, noise pollution; road network capacity problems and land contamination problems can all be addressed at the planning application stage.

Its development for housing would reuse a previously developed site, would provide affordable housing either on site or through a financial contribution and would improve the built environment and the. However, its location on the outskirts of the village with unsafe routes to local bus stops and facilities will tend to encourage use of private vehicular transport. Mitigation Measures Required The site is within the built up area of the village but it is on the periphery. Improvement needs to be made to the links to public transport

Residential uses would be on a site adjoining an existing Housing Area and site adjoins either a public transport route with a service frequency of at least 2 buses per hour during the day being in a rural area in line with policy, or a Supertram route (i.e. limited likelihood of vulnerable groups having to walk long distances from public transport to home late at night)

Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Development of the site for residential uses is sustainable as it would provide affordable housing either on site or through a financial contribution. However its sustainability is tempered by the fact that the site is Greenfield. Mitigation Measures Required The site is within the built up area of the village but because it adds to the open character of that part of the village, this could be partially mitigated by requiring a high standard of design, particularly landscape design. The site is also not close to a high frequency bus route and therefore a travel plan may be required to lessen the dependence on the private motor car

Residential uses located within 400m of the City Centre or a District Centre or 80% within 400m of a bus route with a service frequency of at least 2 buses per hour during the day being in a rural area or 800m of a Supertram stop in line with policy












Summary of main impacts and explanation of recommended uses Development of the site for residential uses is sustainable as it would provide affordable housing either on site or through a financial contribution. However its sustainability is tempered by the fact that the site is Greenfield because the negative impact built development will have on the natural landscape and the character of the village. Mitigation Measures Required The site is within the built up area of the village and it adds to the open character of that part of the village. Any harm to the character of the village caused by development could be partially mitigated by requiring a high standard of built and landscape design. It could also be mitigated by a reduction in the density of development.
