Sheffield City Council has stated during the Local Plan hearings that it does not have the resources to go and look at every plot of land in Sheffield to determine if its available. Yet at the same time, communities are being told that there is no reasonable alternative to releasing Green Belt land. We believe that claim must be tested.
We are inviting residents, landowners and developers to help identify vacant, underused or previously developed land in Sheffield that may not have been fully assessed. This is not about submitting planning applications or doing the Council’s job, it is about ensuring that all reasonable brownfield options are visible, recorded and properly considered before irreversible decisions are made about our Green Belt.
If you know of a site that is empty, derelict, underused or long-vacant, please complete the short form below. Even small sites matter.
