New office building gets go-ahead despite objections
The six-storey building replaces the former post office and associated offices in the city centreSome locals had objected, saying their flats would be overshadowed by the tall buildingPlans for a six-storey office block in Sheffield city centre have been approved despite objections.
A revised plan was submitted along with an appeal against the decision to refuse the seven-storey block. Earlier this year, Sheffield City Council's planning committee heard the development was deemed inappropriate for the city centre conservation area, alongside the listed Prudential Assurance building.
A request to have the item deferred so objectors could look at the revised proposals and attend the meeting was not granted by the council, with a planning officer saying the consultation process had been conducted properly.
