24 apartments set to be delivered at Sheffield's Norfolk Park PRS development

PRP Architects is set to continuing its appointment by Sheffield Housing Company (SHC) by embarking on the delivery of the first PRS schemesince forming an agreement with Sigma Capital.

24 apartments, designed by PRP, are being delivered on land off Park Grange Road at Norfolk Park, Sheffield.

Keepmoat is the construction partner for the scheme and works will commence this month, with completion scheduled for September 2017.

The joint venture plans to build more than 5,000 PRS homes across England by 2021.

The plans prepared by PRP have been designed in accordance with the Sheffield Sustainable Communities Framework. Each apartment is a minimum of 775 sq ft and has ceilings that are at least 2.6m high in the master bedroom and living areas.

The Norfolk Park PRS scheme is the latest phase of SHC’s plans to build 2,300 homes across Sheffield over the next 15 years, 300 of which have been delivered to date in two phases.

PRP also worked with SHC on the design and delivery of the latest phase of homes and its appointment on the delivery of the Norfolk Park PRS scheme represents a continuation of that appointment.

SHC is a joint venture between Keepmoat, Sheffield City Council and Great Places Housing Group.

Frances Chaplin, partner at PRP’s Manchester office, said: “Our relationship with Keepmoat goes back a long way and they decided to continue our appointment having worked successfully with them through design and planning.

“It’s fantastic that we’re continuing to work on the next phase of Norfolk Park and seeing different housing types and tenures delivered. PRP’s housing design and market knowledge is second to none and we look forward to continuing our work with the Sheffield Housing Company.”
