For strategic physical development projects, the Regeneration team of Creative Sheffield can provide valuable advice and support in development, including support through the planning process.
In the United Kingdom, planning permission is required for most building or development work. In Sheffield the planning application process is undertaken by the planning division within Sheffield City Council. It is important you are aware of any planning requirements you may need and understand the procedures for obtaining these.
The Sheffield City Council and Planning Portal websites contain useful tools and information on planning regulations. The planning for business part of the website provides further helpful information on the process for business applicants and this can be accessed via the SCC planning link.
The core strategy, part of the Sheffield Development Framework which sets out broad planning policies for Sheffield until 2026 was adopted by the council on 4th March 2009. Work is currently being undertaken on the more detailed city policies and sites documents which will be subject to future consultation. Details of the core strategy can be found using the SCC planning links.
