Plans submitted for mixed-use residential and student development in Sheffield

A planning application has been submitted to Sheffield City Council for a mixed-use residential and student development on a site on Hoyle Street in the centre of Sheffield.

The proposals, submitted by Mace, will see the Grade-II listed cementation furnace on the site the focal point of the development.

The residential element of the project includes 247 build to rent units, made up of studios, one bed and two bed flats all set around a landscaped courtyard.

The student scheme will consist of 658 student beds, comprising studios, cluster flats and townhouses.

Jefferson Sheard Architects designed the mixed-use scheme, and CBRE has advised Mace on planning.

David Grover, Mace’s chief operating officer for Development, said: “We have worked hard to design a scheme which places Sheffield’s industrial heritage at the heart of our proposals.

“As well as bringing forward modern student housing and new homes for Sheffield, the designs are sympathetic to the local area and will give the iconic cementation furnace a new lease of life as the centre piece of the site.”
