All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 LOCATION AND PROPOSAL This application relates to the first and second floor of a three storey flat roofed building set within the Castlegate Quarter of Sheffield’s City Centre. The building has been vacant for a number of years and the upper floors have fallen into a considerable state of disrepair. The applicant proposes to convert the space into 6 small studio flats. It is also proposed to undertake various alterations to the building, including the creation of new stair access in the rear yard, the repositioning of two extraction flues also in 10 the rear yard, the exposing of the original brickwork, which is currently hidden by render, and the replacement of the existing parapet. The application building fronts Castle Street, which presents a typical bustling city centre pedestrian environment in the day and is also a very busy bus route. The two commercial units that operate on the ground floor are a fish & chip shop and sandwich bar. There are several listed buildings surrounding the site, including the Grade II Listed Courthouse, which is set across Castle Green to the east, and the Grade II Listed Castle House, which is set across Castle Street to the south. The majority of the buildings immediately surrounding the application site are of a larger scale (4/5 storeys) than the application building, the exception being the Hen and Chickens Public House, which is also three storeys and adjoins the application building to the north.
