  • Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group
    Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group i-Tree Eco Stratified Inventory Report November 2019 The Authors James Watson - Treeconomics Reviewed By: Danielle Hill - Treeconomics This assessment was carried out by Treeconomics 1 Executive Summary In this report, the street trees in Sheffield have been assessed based on the benefits that they provide to society. These trees, which form part of Sheffield’s natural capital, are generally recognised and appreciated for their amenity, presence and stature in the cityscape and surroundings. However, society is often unaware of the many other benefits (or ecosystem services) that trees provide to those living in our towns and cities. The trees in and around our urban areas (together with woodlands, shrubs, hedges, open grass, green space and wetland) are collectively known as the ‘urban forest’. This urban forest improves our air, protects watercourses, saves energy, and improves economic sustainability1. There are also many health and well-being benefits associated with being in close proximity to trees and there is a growing research base to support this2. Sheffield’s street trees are a crucial part of the city’s urban forest, rural areas and woodlands. Many of the benefits that Sheffield’s urban forest provides are offered through its street trees. Economic valuation of the benefits provided by our natural capital3 (including the urban forest) can help to mitigate for development impacts, inform land use changes and reduce any potential impact through planned intervention to avoid a net loss of natural capital. Such information can be used to help make better management decisions. Yet, as the benefits provided by such natural capital are often poorly understood, they are often undervalued in the decision making process.

    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume Two PART TWO THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN <2 6 ?- ti.«» *• 3 ^ 268 CHAPTER 14 EXPANSION FROM 1736 IGOSLING) TO 1771 (FAIRBANKS THE TOWN IN 1736 Sheffield in Gosling's 1736 plan was small and relatively compact. Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 Projects Funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015
    Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 projects funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015 The need The lighting and wiring in two chapels, the All Saints Chapel and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit (crypt chapel) had become unreliable, making them difficult to use for services and occasionally dangerous for visitors to enter. Components could no longer be obtained for the existing systems, which were in urgent need of attention: many fittings had failed through overheating or through faulty wiring. The crypt chapel was created in the 1930s as a First World War memorial, and the Dean observed It is quite distressing at times that elderly mourners feel anxious about entering the chapel because it is so poorly lit. Outcomes Now the lighting requires routine maintenance only. The All Saints Chapel is now a fitting memorial to those interred there from the York and Lancaster Regiment. Economic and social impact A local electrical contractor was used for the work. The spaces are once again safe and open, and can reliably be used for interment services. They are also being Lack of lighting in the crypt chapel before the work. regularly used by staff and clients from the Archer Photo credit: Thomas Ford Architects. Project, a provision within the cathedral complex for the homeless and vulnerable, for their weekly prayers. The Chapel of the Holy Spirit is regularly used by the Sheffield Church Burgesses Trust for their prayer meetings and in May 2016 was the setting for the observance of the 10 Days of Prayer. Works completed CASS Electrical were instructed to undertake the work.
