REDOWL Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 In my experience no matter what is developed anywhere on unused land someone will say the proposals are the wrong ones. Whether it be business,retail or leisure,all creating employment hopefully, the local economy will not be any worse off. In a way it's the same with proposed housing developments of varying densities when people object,not because they don't wish to see development,but because it's perhaps too near their own property. When reading objections to planning applications it's interesting to to see the reasons some objectors(domestic and business) cite for opposing the proposed development. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I’d always hoped that whatever went over there, there might be some room left to add a decent pub. Would've made an absolute fortune during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueandWhiteOwl Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Largely unimaginative development – in my opinion Hillsborough is crying out for some more interesting places to eat and drink, and some innovative event spaces, rather than more generic shops – but at least it will be used for something, and presumably all the companies moving in see it as a good prospect or they would look elsewhere. However, it's a bizarre missed opportunity to get developers to pay for better walking and cycling infrastructure that would improve links with the city centre. The reasons the Council gave for not ensuring this was the case are absolutely bizarre (apparently Penistone Road is not a "Strategic Cycle Route"... err, well, it should be?!). You can read more about it here. It's a pretty disgraceful failure of planning, to be honest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Turpin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Does that mean the car park will be shut again or can they eke it out a bit longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Good to see, it's an eyesore that needed some investment. It will improve the area. And unless it's already been stated elsewhere what the exact units are going to be, how do we know there aren't going to be a couple of food outlets or a bar??

For those that are old enough to remember there were steel works and cutlery factories surrounding Hillsborough not to mention Bramalls Gold Rooms and scrap yard, Kwik Fit and the like. This for me added to the feel of going to the match as the stadium is part of the community and should remain so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Shame the club wasn't in a position to buy the land and create a 'Wednesdayland'. The club shop could move over there, could have Wednesday themed pub/restaurant. Museum, a 5aside pitch. Make a killing on matchdays and wouldn't do too bad during the week I would imagine. And to top it all a blue and white lit up bridge over Penistone Road into the ground. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the picture... they've already got them. You can see 3 big ones in the photo. They might have another branch somewhere but I couldn't find it in a Google search. Looks like they have a lot of competition though, there's loads of companies out there doing signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
