Head of Development Services Development, Environment and Leisure HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEVELOPMENT, ENVIRONMENT AND LEISURE REPORT TO CABINET 27TH OCTOBER 2004 UPDATE ON PROPOSALS TO STIMULATE REGENERATION IN THE UPPER DON VALLEY 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 In February 2003, Civic Regeneration produced a multi-disciplinary masterplan on the Upper Don Valley and identified a significant number of proposals which could contribute to the Valley’s regeneration. Cabinet endorsed the Civic Regeneration proposals in a report on 12 November 2003. 1.2 The purpose of this report is twofold. Firstly, to update Cabinet members on consultation and implementation issues in relation to the above Upper Don Masterplan proposals. Secondly, to describe a programme of further actions needed to achieve a successful economic, environmental and social regeneration in the Upper Don. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 After a period of industrial re-structuring, Sheffield is emerging as a leading location for quality inward investment in office, industrial, retail and residential activities. Various studies have indicated that there is at present a deficit in the provision of suitable accommodation in virtually all categories of accommodation. 2.2 In addition to the City Centre, Sheffield has a number of significant development areas, which are known as the four Strategic Regeneration Areas (SRAs). These are: the Lower Don Valley, the Airport Business Park, Central Riverside and the Upper Don Valley. These areas have significant potential to provide improved and additional business and industrial use accommodation. 2.3 In order to address economic development at a city wide level, Creative Sheffield was launched earlier this month. Based on the model of an Urban Regeneration Company, unlike the existing Sheffield One which only services the City Centre, the new organisation will work across the whole city. A key role for the new agency – which is central to the future of the Upper Don – will be the promotion of the city’s economic sites and infrastructure. Creative Sheffield is expected to be crucial in creating thousands of jobs in the Upper Don, as well as in the other three Strategic Regeneration Areas. The launch of Creative Sheffield is therefore very timely given the real opportunities for transformational change in the Upper Don. 2.4 The Upper Don Valley provides a major opportunity for the city to grow and to share the economic benefits of a more prosperous city centre with other parts of Sheffield. Although levels of interest in the Upper Don Valley from developers have increased in recent years, land values and low rental levels are still holding back development. 2.5 As explained in the previous Upper Don report to Cabinet of November 2003, a number of policy and strategic developments are having an impact on the Upper Don. Of particular relevance are the recommendations made in the Upper Don Masterplan, the review of the Unitary Development Plan into the Sheffield Development Framework and the “Upper Don Valley Transport Study” which are addressed in subsequent sections of this report. 2.6 The Upper Don is at present a focus for a great deal of targeted regeneration efforts by a range of statutory organisations, community and charitable status organisations and private developers. Various departments at the City Council are working together with external partners to ensure that when the transformational change takes place in the Upper Don, as far as possible all the aspirations of the partners involved are fulfilled. The Upper Don is adjoined by heavily populated neighbourhoods which are the focus of the City Council’s Successful Neighbourhoods Strategy. 2.7 Sheffield City Council promotes economic and social regeneration that goes hand in hand with the regeneration of the natural environment. In particular, attention needs to be given to the Upper River Don, which remains an underused and to some extend, abused asset. A combination of major private developments and publicly funded initiatives brings a unique opportunity to make much more of the river. The flat topography of the area also gives us the opportunity to effectively link business, education and leisure development opportunities with walking and cycling initiatives, hopefully delivering better facilities for all. Linked to the Waterways Strategy Group, Sheffield City Council has established a ‘Upper Don Valley Cycling and Pedestrian Officers’ Group to support and deliver quality cycling and pedestrian access and routes in the UDV by using the River Don as a central location. A detailed map of the proposed routes has recently been produced. 2.8 The Upper Don Masterplan, produced by Civic Regeneration for Yorkshire Forward and Sheffield City Council in February 2003, divided the Upper Don Valley into three distinct sub-areas. Briefly, their proposals were: Claywheels Lane – this part retains its industrial focus and a competitive business environment is created; Upper Don Urban Quarter – there are three main strands to this proposal. Firstly, to establish a vibrant education and training cluster focused on Sheffield College’s new campus at Livesey Street. Secondly, the consolidation of a leisure cluster in the vicinity of Livesey Street. Finally, the introduction of housing between Livesey Street and Rutland Road; Parkwood Springs – creating a substantially enlarged Ski Village and Outdoor leisure facility. 2.9 A more detailed description of the proposals for each of these three areas can be found in Appendix 1. 3.0 CONSULTATION ON UPPER DON MASTERPLAN AND RESPONSES RECEIVED 3.1 Following the Cabinet’s endorsement of the Upper Don Valley Masterplan in November 2003, an extensive consultation strategy was launched by Sheffield City Council. Key partners and stakeholders were consulted as part of this process between December 2003 and May 2004. Key points raised during this consultation were: in principle support for housing on brownfield sites; the need for new employment opportunities, particularly for local people; the need to improve accessibility in the Valley; the value of the rivers Don and Loxley and other linkages as green routes. 3.2 Appendix 2 provides a fuller account of comments made during consultation on the Masterplan. 4. 0 PROGRESS TOWARDS REGENERATING THE UPPER DON VALLEY 4.1 The following section outlines the work which is planned or is currently underway since the publication of the Upper Don Masterplan which directly impacts on the regeneration of the Upper Don Valley. CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS a) Claywheels Lane 4.2 The Upper Don Valley Masterplan recommended that Claywheels Lane retain its industrial focus. In accordance with this purpose, Sheffield City Council is working with a newly formed company called Upper Don Renaissance to achieve this objective. 4.3 Upper Don Renaissance (UDR) are proposing the development of the whole of the Claywheels Industrial Estate between 2005-2010. The company has already secured ownership of the former UCAR site. Given the access, clearance and land contamination issues in the Claywheels Estate, UDR have identified a ‘funding gap’ to bring the site forward of about £5m. UDR hope to access this amount through Objective 1. The developers submitted a Business Plan to the Objective 1 Programme Directorate at the end of June. UDR have been invited to submit an Integrated Business Plan and an Application for ERDF support before December this year. In parallel to this process, the City Council will in due course receive a planning application for this development. 4.4 Because the Objective 1 funded expenditure has to be incurred by December 2008, UDR have identified two main phases in the development of Claywheels Lane. Phase 1 will be the development of the UCAR site (2005-2008), with a total cost of approximately £30m, of which Objective 1 would, if UDR’s bid is successful fund £5m. Phase 2 (2009-2010) will see the development of the rest of the site. As part of Phase 1, UDR propose to do the following: Infrastructure: Improvements to the road transport network, including a new bridge from Middlewood Road North to Beeley Wood Road and associated road improvements; To rejuvenate the UCAR site estate infrastructure which is not conducive to modern industry and more specifically create a loop road through the UCAR site; Creation of a new footbridge across the River Don; Environmental improvements including the creation of new riverside walk; Provision of new primary power substation and distribution network. Development: Transform the Claywheels Industrial Estate into the Beeley Wood Technology Park with the construction of 41,000 m2 of refurbished and new industrial and business units with potential for a further 40,000 m2 of development. Linked improvements: Provision for public transport improvements by re-routing services via the new road bridge connecting Middlewood Road North to Claywheels Lane/ Penistone Road; Improved access to the supertram terminal interchange. 4.5 It is considered that Sheffield City Council should welcome these proposals as they will lead to a very positive improvement, physically and socially, in this part of the Upper Don. The Council should support the developers in accessing Objective 1 funding. It will do this by providing officers’ support in preparing the ERDF submission and also by ensuring that the project meets all social inclusion, employment and environmental requirements. We are currently helping UDR to co-ordinate a number of meetings with relevant SCC staff and other relevant community and external organisations in order to meet necessary funding criteria. b) Parkwood Springs 4.6 MENTA, which is part of Upper Don Renaissance and owns the Ski Village, has ambitious plans for the extension of the leisure offer at the Ski Village. In addition, it is investigating the possibility of acquiring a number of sites in the vicinity of the Ski Village in order to redevelop them and to revitalise its immediate neighbourhood. The company has formed a partnership with a development company specialising in leisure operations under the name of Parkwood Springs Development Limited.
