British Land has submitted a planning application for a £300m mixed-use development next to its Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield.

British Land hopes to redevelop the 63-acre industrial site into a 2.2m sq ft scheme.

It plans to develop 1,300 homes and 1.2m sq ft of offices in five stages on the land to the south of the £1.5bn Meadhowhall shopping centre.

The planning application also includes a 100,000 sq ft hotel, 27,000 sq ft of shops and leisure facilities.

British Land said it would target a BREEAM Excellent rating for the office development. It also said at least 15% of the homes would be affordable, though Sheffield City Council’s minimum requirement is 20%.

A masterplan for the area was broadly endorsed by the Sheffield City Council in September last year and British Land hopes to have outline planning consent by Christmas.

Drivers Jonas is advising British Land.
