Catherine Street

Plans to build 16 new homes on Catherine Street were given the go ahead by the Council at a meeting in May. Local social housing provider Arches Housing expects to begin construction in August on empty land at Catherine Street, Brotherton Street and Cranworth Road.

Affordable family homes

The new homes will provide a range of accommodation for affordable rent, including two, three and four-bed properties for families of 4 to 8 people. Somerset revamp

As part of planning rules, Arches will also make a financial contribution of £27,171.40 towards an open space – such as a park or recreational area.

Councillor Ibrar Hussain told the Messenger this would most likely be allocated to renovating Somerset Park which occupies the hillside opposite the proposed housing development.

Earl Marshal

Housing developer Sheffield Housing Company have restated their commitment to develop empty land at Earl Marshal Road, after admitting that construction is unlikely to begin before the end of 2014, as previously expected.

67 homes are planned for the site, which will be available for sale, for rent or shared ownership.

Project Director Tom Fenton told the Messenger,

“We are pressing ahead as quickly as we can and plan to share the designs with the local community over the summer with a view to beginning construction as early as possible in 2015.”
