Meadowhall’s \u00a3300m expansion has been approved by planners in Sheffield this week, despite objections from the Green Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Brian Holmshaw, the Green Party’s representative on the planning and highways committee, voted against the expansion saying: “The 35,000 square metres of concrete, tarmac and brick of the Meadowhall extension represents a danger to Sheffield\u2019s city centre, to our small businesses and to our environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes after the council released a report on the development where it admitted Sheffield city centre was fragile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has predicted a two per cent impact on city centre trade, resulting in dozens of family-owned businesses, jobs lost, and more indirectly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council has yet to completely finish The Heart of the City II and The Moor scheme, which is substantially completed but still in its third phase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plans for a fifth phase of The Moor scheme which is currently the subject of a planning application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotherham City Council is also unhappy at the prospect of the new development as it fears it will further withdraw footfall from local areas and the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are concerns surrounding Meadowhall’s new leisure quarter threatening the Rotherham Forge Island development, which is currently in the second phase of building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cllr Holmshaw said: “Those of us around in the 1990s saw how damaging Meadowhall was to city centre trade then, a legacy that lives with us now. Why would we want to further damage our city\u2019s economy well into the future?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development is going to include a gym, a bar, a car showroom and an expansion of the current VUE cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield City Council and Meadowhall declined to comment on the development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
