Farm Road Sheffield

We are excited to share our proposals to deliver 413 high-quality apartments at

Farm Road, Sheffield

Consultation on proposals for new homes at Farm Road, Sheffield

The site was granted planning permission in 2022 for a 23-storey residential development with 336 units.

The proposals will deliver a new building on the site with varying heights of 12, 18 and 29 storeys, providing 413 build-to-rent apartments, with generous living spaces, a strong emphasis on community-oriented amenities and enhanced connectivity that prioritises sustainable transport options.

We are keen to engage with the local community and want to hear your feedback before submitting a planning application to Sheffield City Council.

The Site

The site is located at the former British Rail Sports Ground at Farm Road, running adjacent to the A61, to the south of Sheffield City Centre. The area is centrally located, with close access to transportation routes and a short walking distance from Sheffield City Centre.

The site benefits from previously granted planning permission (Ref:21/01102/FUL) that originally proposed the erection of a 10-23 storey building providing 336 dwellings.

We are now looking to submit a new full planning application for an optimised scheme to deliver much-needed additional homes.

The modern design features the introduction of a double-storey entranceway and a material palette that respects the surrounding urban environment. High-quality landscaping is also proposed, with the aim of creating a strong sense of arrival.
