SHARROW VALE ROAD

We have been made aware that Hatfields Jaguar garage on Sharrow Vale Road will be closing. Unless another commercial use is found, it is reasonable to expect housing or similar to be placed on a redeveloped site. At present there is no access to or even visibility of the river between Frog Walk and Eastwood Road. Redevelopment of this site could be a piece of that jigsaw. The site is on the left bank of the Porter Brook and includes a covered section of the historic Snuff Mill goyt or mill race running under the car park. It is highly unlikely the strip between the Porter Brook and the goyt could be built upon. This makes it an excellent space to convert to a public path. This is likely to be a long term project but the first step would be to secure a safeguarded strip of land against the riverside, as done in many locations in Sheffield. https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/hatfields-shock-as-100-year-old-sheffield-jaguar-dealer-announces-closure-4250494
