We are delighted to be able to share that our planning application for a new 4 storey retail unit for Woodhead Investments has been submitted for planning approval. The development promises to be a versatile addition to the bustling commercial district, offering a landmark building that can cater to a multitude of uses.
The vision for this project was to create a space that can accommodate a variety of businesses and activities while making a significant architectural statement in Fargate. The brief was clear: this is not just another retail unit; it's a dynamic, multi-use structure that will stand out on the iconic street.
The proposed development is designed to stand at four stories, including a basement and a second-floor roof terrace. This design choice offers flexibility and adaptability for potential tenants. The different levels allow for various uses, from retail on the ground floor to office spaces or dining establishments on the upper levels. The inclusion of a roof terrace adds an exciting dimension, potentially providing an outdoor oasis in the heart of the city. The proposal aligns perfectly with Fargate's reputation as a commercial hub.
Beyond its commercial aspirations, this development could significantly impact the community. A striking new building on Fargate could become a point of pride for Sheffield residents and a focal point for local events and gatherings. It also has the potential to drive further investment and growth in the area, enhancing the overall appeal of Sheffield's city center.
Well done to all involved in getting to this stage Wayne Fletcher, Matt Smith, DLP Planning Ltd, Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson Ltd, Woodhead Investments
