Do you actually think that nearly everyone who comes to sporting events comes by car, with an occupancy of 1 per vehicle? 
 

The Arena has a capacity of 12,000 and has less than 1000 parking spaces. Seems to manage reasonably well.

“If the problem only becomes apparent after the development comes into use, you can’t go back and make the developer pay for something else to fix it.”

Meanwhile the residents have to put up with cars parked here there and everywhere because the developers put in too few parking spaces.
“We put in some extra yellow lines to deal with parking in inappropriate locations.”

And I have yet to see any parking services come and ticket any inconsiderately parked cars and they never come in the evening or at weekends, so putting double yellow lines down does not deter anyone.

Have you seen some of the surrounding streets when concerts etc are on , plenty of cars parked there and that’s with the super tram being nearby, regular and cheap.

it seems to be passed as already double yellow lines being put in place ,take this is to satisfy the locals nearby

Should Sheffield Eagles get promoted to the top tier, their admittance would depend on having a suitable stadium with at least 5000 capacity. Even after promotion, I'd be surprised if they would attract 3000.

One point that hasn't been mentioned is that during the week the car park at the new development would be used as a park and ride which should ease the congestion through Woodseats.

The suggestion of redeveloping Hallam FC's ground would mean losing the cricket pitch and levelling  the football pitch which has a pronounced slope away from the road. They certainly don't have the space up there for a Meadowhead typr development.

How can anything be passed, they haven't submitted a planning application yet.
