Ned Ludd Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I think not. The Uni is selling property not purchasing it. Fortunately their attempts to flog some halls of residence has hit the buffers or there'd be even more pressure put on the residential areas in Broomhill, Walkley and Eccy road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaadass Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 So... I've not been up to shef in a while -could anyone tell me what is happening on this site? Anything!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Originally posted by tas1 Well works started or at least the preparation for it - the site is now fenced off. Might be "fenced off" but you can actually get inside and get right up the top floors. Nothing is locked up. Great, worth it for the view apparently. Nothing is broken or damaged inside so its a totally safe structure. There appears to be no work going on, just a rubbish security fence that anyone can get over. At least, according to some friends of mine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I'm 90% sure I heard that the old holiday inn was going to be refurbished- and it would turned into luxury flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hmm, well the chap that's bought it has a habit of 'collecting' buildings and then leaving them for a while. I wouldn't bet against it being like that for some time. He is very wealthy and I wouldn't think that it will hurt his pocket to leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaadass Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 Thanks for the responses guys... I still think luxury flats there would be amazing. But it would not be a cheap conversion. Clearly nothing is gonna happen short-term. How strange collecting buildings?! Who is this person (can you say?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hehe, I won't mention him here. I guess he has enough for electric meter tokens and he knows that land and property only ever does one thing - go up in value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaadass Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 So 3years on I found this old thread... Has anything happened on the site yet? I remember seeing a residential planning application in 2005 (06?) but think this was rejected?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
