Next phase of Sheffield’s Park Hill redevelopment gets go ahead

Further development of Sheffield’s iconic Park Hill flats is to get under way after the next stage of works were given the go-ahead by city planners.

Sheffield Council’s planning committee has given the green light to developer Urban Splash’s plans to transform another block of the Grade II listed estate.

The £25m project will deliver 199 apartments including 137 two-bedroom flats, 43 one-bed homes and 19 three-bed units.

There will also be space for businesses along the ground floor.

Mark Latham, regeneration director at Urban Splash, told The Star: “This is an exciting period for Park Hill and we will be making further announcements in the New Year about our ongoing work with project partners on other future phases of the regeneration. Park Hill already has an engaged and lively community of 600 people – we know they will be delighted to see the rest of the building coming alive.”
