We need your help to ensure a high quality path is developed, with some minor tweaks,
Broadfield Buisness Park
The Broadfield Business Park developer has had their planning application approved.
The public park on Broadfield Close, around the the "Hand" statue has been fenced off for the duration of the building works while they build a new office block on the tree lined path, opposite the Hardy Pick Pub.
The image below shows the extend of the fenced off area.
The fencing has already appeared to close off the park and we expect building work to start soon.
We are asking members to monitor progress to check they stick to approved plans and also deliver the "offsetting" agreed at the area between Broadfield Road and the Footbridge close to Virgin Gym.
LITTLE LONDON ROAD - LAVERS & TEKKERS LEISURE
We are disappointed to report that the new football centre on Little London Road has been approved without the missing 20 meters of River Sheaf Walk which would have connected the Broadfield ‘dead end’ to Little London Road.
To be clear, the applicant, Tekkers football met with the Trust and was extremely supportive of providing this link. It would have benefited visitors and people following the river.
The landowners, the locally based Lavers Regeneration Limited, owned by the Laver Family (not to be confused with National Timber Group who bought the "Arnold Laver" brand) prevented this key missing link from being delivered. This is confirmed by the planning officer's report.
We thank of all of our supporters who took the time to write in objections, including Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust and local councillors. The council are also very supportive of a future riverside walk here but was unable to force this through the planning process, given the relatively small changes taking place.
Full details can be found our blog.
STEPS Missing Link Application
We are chasing the council to ensure an already agreed section of the River Sheaf Walk is built.
