Proposals submitted for new mixed-use scheme near city centre

Plans have now been submitted for a new mixed-use development on the outskirts of Sheffield city centre.

Situated on Kelham Island, the site covers an area of 0.3 hectares and currently comprises warehouse and workshop buildings.

The proposals set out to demolition all existing structures on the site, at 56 Penistone Road, to be replaced with a building between five and 11 storeys featuring 228 residential units and commercial space.

The development, to be known as St Philip’s House, will be surrounded by several listed buildings, including the Grade II-listed Globe Works building and the Grade II-listed Cornish Works.

The 228 will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units, along with 2,600 sq ft of commercial space on the ground floor.

Sheffield-based MSD Holdings is delivering the project, with AAD Architects submitting the full planning application.
