Brownfield Sites

We Need You!

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.

Community Brownfield Sites List (Exam 141)

As a community, we’ve worked together to compile a list of brownfield sites (Exam 141).

You can view the full document by clicking the 'Download' button below.

We want to make it clear that this list has been cross-checked against Sheffield City Council’s own Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA 2023). The sites we’ve listed are new additions that do not appear on the latest Sheffield City Council brownfield list (HELAA 2023) which we have cross referenced using the Council's own map: https://sheffieldcc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=0ccdabc346d147cea9b0d855d51fbf09

For context, HELAA (2023) is the evidence base that much of the current plan is built upon.
