Sensitive redevelopment of former station site to deliver in demand bungalow development
CODA Planning prepared and submitted an application for full planning permission for the redevelopment of a brownfield site in Killamarsh. The site had stood empty for a considerable period. The application demonstrated that redevelopment for residential use was appropriate and introduced a high quality, and much needed housing type into the area improving the visual quality of the street scene.

This was a great project to work on but one that came with a set of very specific challenges. Not only was there the site’s past, which everybody was determined had to be preserved, but there was also the fact that we had to create two family homes in what is actually quite a small space. We came up with a design that filled all Nik and Jon’s wishes, a brilliantly contemporary pair of properties that also pays tribute to the story of the site and, through the use of materials, to the bigger story of Sheffield’s industrial heritage.
The 80-metre dam, which once provided power for the corn mill, has also been cleaned and restored, providing a haven for kingfishers and other wildlife.
