Baron99 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Apparently 700 hundred homes are to be built at Attercliffe Waterfront. https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/star-comment-lets-see-some-more-enthusiasm-ps100m-attercliffe-scheme-2929822?amp#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From %1%24s Attercliffe Waterfront? No me neither. It's land between the city centre & Meadowhall & the project appears to have stalled. SCC have a preferred bidder / developer & an announcement was expected around a year ago.

You can probably see the herds of Wildebeest from there or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Isn't that the area that gets flooded every time we get heavy rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andingmen Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It's actually called the Attercliffe Waterside project.

alchresearch Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Sounds like it will be great if it goes ahead. When I first moved to the North west I lived close to a derelict bit of land by the Leeds Liverpool canal. Watching "Canal Boat Diaries" on BBC4 last night I was amazed to see there's now a thriving community and marina there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure there was NO social housing as part of the scheme - which was part of the problem...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be My Bubble Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Looks like we have goldfish for planners. Building next to rivers a few centuries ago was a good thing, now its the complete reverse. Should be be building anything within a kilometre of a waterway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing potential property buyers should be checking / asking the developers or SCC is could you guarantee that I could get insurance cover for any flooding issues?
