cookingfat50 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hello all I read somewhere that ikea were intrested in redeveloping the castlegate area with an IKEA superstore if they cannot open one in there intended site off the Parkway. Could this be the councils reasons for refusing permission on the Parkway site? What do you all think of it as an idea to regenerate this area? I think it would be excellent and much needed in this particular area and it would certainly improve the local economy and attract people to the city centre. where ever they put it will have to have parking space fro a couple of thousand parking spaces so it won't be in the city centre it will also need plenty more land for other retail outlets like the Nottingham one I have subjected using the old Norton aerodrome which as stood empty for the last 60 years as I now. but is said that the council won't le them build any more stores in the north they think that's there's to many in the country already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Shoes Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Finally!! From the start of this thread (12/01/2004) and 137 pages later, IKEA is finally coming!:clap: It'll be worth the wait. People on Shefffield Forum have been waiting nearly a decade to never go in to the store but moan and complain about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ikea bosses have expressed their delight at the final go-ahead for a new Sheffield store - but can't yet say when it will open. http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/business/ikea-delighted-by-approval-for-sheffield-store-1-6798563 Another 10 years then Someone on another forum I go on seemed to suggest Ikea do have a knack of dragging their heels in actually constructing some of their stores, that could be complete rubbish though. It can actually be worth something - having the planning consent - to Ikea, without actually having a built shop taking custom. It's a valuable asset. Although, Ikea will build it eventually (sometimes, say with city centre apartment blocks, developers may seek planning permission for a building they never intend to build, if selling the land with planning permission attached is more valuable).
