Proposals submitted for “significant” Build to Rent development

Plans for a new residential Build to Rent scheme at Sheffield’s Wicker Island have been submitted to the City Council.

The proposed development will comprise three interconnected blocks that will deliver 268 apartments with commercial space, parking and residents amenity space fronting onto the River Don.

Located on the northern city gateway, the scheme is a contextual response to the conservation area and the listed buildings opposite the site and to the new developments across the River Don.

The proposals have been designed by Whittam Cox Architects on behalf of property developers Brickland.

Ian Lowson, director of Whittam Cox Architects, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Brickland, Liv Group and the wider team on such a significant scheme in Sheffield. Our Build to Rent portfolio continues to grow along with our expertise in this ever evolving multi layered sector.”

Darren Leary, director at Brickland, added: “We’re pleased to see our plans take a step forward and look forward to working closely with the team on this important asset that will bring a sense of place to Sheffield’s northern city gateway”.

Planning has now been validated and a decision is expected to be made at the beginning of next year.
