oldtimer Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just one question. I left Foxhill in 1959, and I have a defective memory (among other parts). Is the Union Carbide place what used to be BICC (British Insulated Callenders Company)? BICC was next to Batchelors across the railway line.

fox20thc Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Media information: For immediate release. 28 April 2006 Sheffield’s Upper Don Valley regeneration to commence The long awaited regeneration of the Upper Don Valley is set to start. Regeneration experts Menta have secured planning consent from Sheffield City Council for the long-awaited infrastructure into the Claywheels Lane industrial backwater. After five years of background work by Menta, councillors gave a unanimous thumbs up to proposals involving a new road bridge from Middlewood Road across the River Don into the Claywheels Lane area and a pedestrian bridge linking Claywheels to the Supertram terminus at Hillsborough. The plans will create around 660 jobs on two sites at Claywheels Lane which have remained derelict and unused for a number of years. The proposals are an integral part of the masterplan being promoted by Menta for the Beeley Wood Sustainable Community which will complete the transformation of this area of Sheffield. Menta director Craig Marks said: “This is a huge step forward for the Claywheels Lane area, and illustrates our commitment to ensuring that we deliver a comprehensive regeneration package for Sheffield as part of the regeneration proposals for the Upper Don Valley.” The council deferred the second part of Menta’s proposals to a north and west planning board meeting scheduled on May 23 in order to reassess the planning case and regeneration benefits of Menta’s proposals and how the manner in which they might support the entire regeneration of the Upper Don Valley. Talking about this proposal Craig Marks added: “We remain committed to ensuring that our proposals at Claywheels, which are a departure from the current and dated unitary development plan, are brought forward in a manner which fully align our interests with Sheffield City Councils to regenerate the Upper Don Valley and safeguard the important Housing Market Renewal programme. “The Councillors agreed to pass this first application unanimously and saw the benefits of securing £5m worth of European Regional Development Funding (ERDF) for Sheffield. The developers also agreed to work closely with local residents and the area panels to take the project forward given the concerns of a handful of residents on traffic generation at Claywheels.” The agreed scheme is just one of four planning applications that Menta has within the Upper Don Valley. Planning consent for the Snow Mountain Leisure complex at the Sheffield Ski Village and the gondola cable way transport link between Supertram and the Shirecliffe area has already been agreed by councillors, which subject to grant assistance, and will deliver more than 1,500 new jobs in the area. A further application for 100,000 sq ft of business and starter units at Parkwood Springs which will specifically be targeted towards sports related businesses to create a sports “hub” of activity has also been submitted. However the Beeley Wood plans submitted by Cushman & Wakefield on behalf of Menta have been viewed extremely favourably by the local MP, David Blunkett, and the residents living nearby in Middlewood, Wadley Park, Hillsborough and in particular Winn Gardens who say the plans are a long-awaited solution to transforming a forgotten area.
