Reviewing the plans for a £300 million extension at Meadowhall will create ‘the perfect counterpoint’ to the regeneration of Sheffield city centre, the council has said, after it emerged the mall’s joint owner had gone back to the drawing board on the huge development. British Land is rethinking the 330,000 sq ft Leisure Hall in a bid to cut the number of shops within the scheme, putting more emphasis on food, drink and other activities as the retail sector struggles. The extension was given the go-ahead by planning committee members in September 2017, but amended designs are likely to be submitted for approval before construction work can begin.Under the original proposals, a new 330,000 sq ft multi-level wing with a distinctive, latticed glazed roof was to have been built on the centre's car park, containing restaurants, a cinema, a gym, entertainment facilities and space for events, as well as around 25 retail units – a quantity of … [Read more...] about Meadowhall extension rethink: Sheffield Council supports review of £300 million Leisure Hall plan

Broadening the mix of housing in Sheffield city centre beyond student development was the focus of a Star round table discussion attended by key players in the property profession. Under scrutiny was whether Build to Rent was the way forward and how it could potentially impact on the regeneration of the city centre. Build to Rent refers to the emerging market in private accommodation, designed for long-term rent rather than for sale, typically owned by institutional investors, managed by specialist operators and offering on site facilities such as a gym.Leigh Bramall, director of Sheffield communications firm Counter Context, which hosted the discussion at its Vicar Lane premises, said he felt the historic development of student housing around the city had had a massive benefit, bringing footfall and a vibrancy back to the city centre.He added: “However, there are periods when students are absent and the city is much quieter, giving it a more transient flavour.
