Green light for sheffield scheme

Although Sheffield and other northern areas were expected to be hit by the government drastically reducing its property requirements, the Yorkshire city still has a number of key developments. One example is that Devonshire Green Holdings has received planning permission for a £3 million mixed use scheme designed by Cartwright Pickard at Arundel Street. The privately funded scheme involves listed buildings being converted into retailing on the ground floor with offices above and a new build of 72 bed student units. It will be built around a central courtyard and is aimed to enhance the Victorian architecture in the Cultural Industrial Quarter.
