If it isn’t designated for housing in the local plan, they are going to have to present an extremely compelling reason for wanting to build housing on it. I rather doubt whether needing the money for a new stadium would be regarded as a compelling reason. Let's hope it doesn't get it, and this scheme falls down. There are enough traffic problems at Meadowhead without this on top. However, there is so much noise about it, the "coming soon.." poster even before planning permission was even applied for if I understand it correctly, that I think somehow that someone has been told it is a foregone conclusion, and it has already been "agreed". I just hope I'm wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough traffic problems at Meadowhead without this on top. I don't think the traffic problems are that bad (and I drive around there twice a day)- yes its a very busy part of the city but a bit of joined up thinking could help immeasurably. Its crying out for some kind of Park and Ride (Tram from Herdings anyone?) which will drop the traffic throughput, better bus travel and a bit of road changes would solve a lot of the issues. Personally I think the stadium is a great idea - another tourist location for the city, match days will help local business, potential for jobs. what's not to like? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassett one Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 yeah when annouced on the radio sheffield fc said , this is it all done , and will go forward and work will start in 2026 as its all ready to go, dronfield site agreed for housing and rugby ready to move in. he stated oven ready and will go ahead no problem, he never mentioned anything about the sport england being involved like people are suggesting , are they putting in big cash?, if it changed to housing that would be passed with this new goverment rules coming in.

jemson Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I`m pretty sure that current ground isn`t on Green Belt; lots of housing in that area. Housing there would be very popular and likely to be a big fundraiser. There`s space for plenty of houses. Pub should be safe though as it must listed.

It’s always been possible to build on green belt, but an extremely good justification is needed. When this proposal was first mentioned I had a look at the county council’s land use policies. They have conducted a review of their green belt and allowed for development in locations they thought were appropriate. This wasn’t one of them, so I’d think it rather unlikely that consent would be granted. We’ll just have to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
