AJ Feature: GPAD unveils major £67m levelling-up masterplan for Sheffield.

‘A Proper Piece of Sheff’ – Collaborating closely with the planners and urban designers at Arup, GPAD have been working to shape the future of two new urban neighbourhoods in Sheffield.

As part of the Homes England Framework – we have worked collaboratively alongside Sheffield City Council and Homes England to develop a masterplan for Furnace Hill and Neepsend within the former industrial heart of Sheffield.

Rooted in the special historical character of the area, this work included the development of detailed residential capacity studies. These studies informed the proposed business case prepared by Homes England that led to successfully securing support for the development of the catalyst sites. The endeavour culminated in The Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announcing a substantial £67 million investment to catalyse the creation of the new communities.

The ambitious proposals to transform the area will support the development of over 1,300 new homes and complementary commercial and community space across the two neighbourhoods.

Cllr Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said:
“This major investment will help to create two new city centre neighbourhoods on brownfield land. It will help to breathe new life into Furnace Hill and Neepsend and create great neighbourhoods with 1300 new homes.”
