Footway in Sheffield city centre could be permanently closed for development
Part of a city centre footway in Sheffield could be permanently closed to allow approved development to proceed.
The Department for Transport has given notice that the Secretary of State proposes to make an Order under Section 247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to authorise the stopping up of two sections of footway on the southern side of West Bar Green in Sheffield.
If approved, the permanent closure would enable development that has been permitted by Sheffield City Council.
Copies of the draft Order and the relevant plan will be available for public inspection during normal opening hours at Howden House, 1 Union Street, Sheffield, S1 2SH, for 28 days from February 23, 2026.
Documents can also be obtained free of charge from the Secretary of State, quoting reference SUO9078633.
Anyone wishing to object to the proposed Order must do so in writing to the Secretary of State by midnight on March 23, 2026, stating their reasons.
Objections can be submitted by email to [email protected] or by post to the National Transport Casework Team in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
The notice states that personal data and correspondence submitted as part of an objection will be passed to the applicant or their agent unless objectors state that they do not wish their details to be forwarded and provide reasons.
