SHEFFIELD Council’s proposed five-year Local Plan is disappointing according to one of the city’s leading planning experts.
Rob Crolla, the director of CODA Planning, says the programme has caused dismay in the development industry but he recognises the challenges that the City Council faces in delivering a new plan quickly.
He warns that the position could cause a policy vacuum that will lead to uncertainty and loss of momentum in Sheffield as the driver of the Sheffield City Region and the wider economy.
