A six-storey office building has finally been granted planning approval following a refusal earlier this year.

Grantside’s proposals for the scheme on the corner of Charles and Norfolk Street in Sheffield city centre include 2,200 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor, with about 19,500 sq ft of office space above.

The height of the building was reduced after plans for a 10-storey scheme were refused earlier this year following 124 objections about its size and scale.

Steve Davis, founder and chief executive of Grantside, said: “We have listened to feedback and amended the plans and are pleased that councillors recognised the benefits that this exciting development will bring.”

Grantside has been granted planning permission for a Sheffield City Centre office development.

He added: “It fits in with our sustainable approach to development and will be a landmark Net Zero-carbon ready building, regenerating a prime site within the city’s commercial quarter.

"The building is targeting BREEAM Excellent, EPC A rating, Wired Score Platinum and Cycle Score Certified Platinum rating for sustainability.”

York-based Grantside was established in 1993 and has delivered over £850m worth of real estate across the UK.

It has active projects covering commercial, residential and mixed-use developments and was relaunched last year with a with a focus on its approach of honesty, integrity and wellbeing. www.grantside.com
