Plans lodged for discount food store

A planning application has been submitted to Sheffield City Council for a mixed-use scheme including a discount food store and houses in Chapeltown.

Morbaine, working together with Sheffield-based property company Ackroyd & Abbott, is proposing a store and eight houses on vacant land at the corner of Lane End and Thorncliffe Lane.

The vacant site was once home to Council Trading Standards.

Adrian Crossdale, director at Morbaine, said: “To ensure that this development is sensitive to the local area, we have carefully considered the site’s surroundings in our design and listened to the feedback from local people. The eight new houses will line Thorncliffe View and complement this quiet residential street, with the new food store sitting behind this.

“Landscape planting will be provided on all sides of the site to act as a physical buffer and enhance the attractiveness of the site. We have also made changes to the site layout following the public consultation to help overcome issued expressed by adjoining residents.

“We are pleased to have reached this milestone and are confident this scheme will make a positive contribution to the local area.”

Around 115 car parking spaces will also be provided within the development, while a pedestrian crossing is also proposed on Lane End.
