client: sheffield council

Stephenson Bell won a competition to design a rare Council-led residential scheme within one of Sheffield’s Housing Market Renewal programme regeneration zones, 2.5 miles north of the city centre. The housing provision will be a mix of private for sale and affordable,  ranging from two-bedroom bungalows to four-bedroom family houses, on 16 different pockets of land around the existing 1940’s estate.

As well as conforming to Sheffield Council’s space standards, the new homes will be designed to Lifetime Homes standards and achieve a minimum of level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

The planning application is due for submission in March 2009
