of consultation responses from the 5-week public engagement (called
‘Our City Centre’) and set out how the City Centre
Strategic Vision has been adjusted to take account of the
public’s views and sought approval for the final version of

Reasons for
Decision
|
|
|
|
|
19.3.1
|
The approval of the City Centre Strategic
Vision, which has received clear support through public and
stakeholder consultation and taken on the views of
Sheffield’s people and businesses, will form the basis for
new development and investment geared towards improving
opportunities for all. The 10 guiding
principles in the Vision summarise the actions that are required to
bring the City Centre Strategic Vision to life.
|
|
|
|
|
19.3.2
|
The intended outcome is to
start to realise the full potential of the City Centre Strategic
Vision, and the following short term next steps will be progressed
to ensure this:
1. Priority
Neighbourhoods: Preparation of Masterplans and outline design
principles to help shape 5 new distinctive neighbourhoods and to
guide future development in these areas.
2. Delivery Plan: To
enable key sites to be brought forward for delivery that will
catalyse regeneration in their respective priority
neighbourhoods.
3. City Centre Investment
Prospectus: Building on point 1 and 2, this will clearly
articulate the investment opportunities available within
Sheffield’s Central Area.
|
|
|
|
|
19.3.3
|
The outputs of the City Centre
Strategic Vision and the next steps outlined in paragraph 6.2 will
form a significant part of the emerging Sheffield Local Plan, a key
piece of evidence to shape planning policy and site
allocations. The outputs will act as
interim guidance and support for city centre development and help
guide decisions on planning applications pending adoption of the
Sheffield Local Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
19.3.4
|
In addition, the Council will
be working hard to bring forward the improvements at key city
centre sites such as Fargate & High
Street, Castlegate and the former John
Lewis Store using the feedback and views from the public
engagement.

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
19.4.1
|
The alternative
option would be not to produce a City Centre Strategic
Vision. However, given the need for the
city centre’s continued regeneration in the light of retail
re-structuring and other economic challenges along with the need to
address the delivery of more homes in Sheffield, the need to
deliver a strategy outweighs the option not to deliver
one.
