Park Hill’s newest homes given the green light by Sheffield city council
As they continue their long-term commitment to the redevelopment of Park Hill in Sheffield, joint venture partners Urban Splash and Places for People have secured planning approval for more new homes at the building.
The pair has redeveloped the building over the past decade establishing a new quarter for the city with 455 new homes, accommodation for 356 students, more than 50,000 sq ft of workspace, and extensive landscaping and green space. A fourth phase comprising 125 apartments – 20% of which will be affordable tenure – new public realm, EV charging, a car club and bike storage was awarded planning in late 2023.
Approved plans for the newest phase – phase 5 – include 105 thoughtfully designed new homes – giving local people another chance to live at Park Hill. Among the homes will be one-, two-, three- and four-bedroomed flats, duplexes and townhouses – some of them available through affordable tenures , while the ground floor will include 2,000 sq ft of commercial floor area providing a space for independent, local business to thrive, and adding to the already vibrant and diverse Park Hill ecosystem – home to native brands such as South Street Kitchen, The Pearl, and the Grace Owen Nursery.
Mark Latham is Regeneration Director at Urban Splash and said: “Park Hill has been a long-term vision and investment, a building which we have developed out in different phases to ensure that we are creating a space that serves the needs of the city – be that homes, workspaces for independent business, or green spaces.
“I am thrilled that we have secured permission to move forward with another stage – with plans that will further contribute to Sheffield’s cultural and economic vitality.”
Sammie Steele is Managing Director of Placemaking and Regeneration at Places for People and added: “We are delighted to have secured permission for the next phase of Park Hill, continuing our great partnership with Urban Splash. Park Hill is an iconic area of Sheffield both culturally and architecturally and we are proud to continue supporting this thriving community and uplift its long and fascinating history. This phase will allow us to not only pave the way for new homes in Sheffield but also to create new commercial spaces where we hope to see local businesses set up and thrive.”
