Approval for mixed-use development opposite Hillsborough / July, 2024

We’re pleased to see that Sheffield City Council has given the green light to a new mixed use development opposite Hillsborough Stadium that is expected to create 170 full and part time jobs and add £13m of economic investment.

We worked closely with our client Aldi Stores to develop the plans for this site which will see the creation of a new 20,600 sq. ft. Aldi store. Outline planning permission was also granted for two builders’ merchants, two drive-thru restaurants, a drive-thru coffee shop and new retail/trade units. Alongside the buildings our plans also include parking, landscaping and an EV charging hub.

In the report which went to Sheffield Council’s planning committee this week, a planning officer noted that the “scheme would make a positive contribution to the appearance of the locality and the visual amenities of the locality”.

We look forward to moving forward with this project and creating new spaces for retail and drive-thru food and drink operators in Sheffield.
