Plans lodged for next phase of Heart of the City II

Plans have been lodged for the next phase of Sheffield Heart of the City II scheme, including a cultural destination and a new low carbon office building.Sheffield City Council has submitted planning applications for Block H, located between Wellington Street, Carver Street and Cambridge Street.The plans aim to create a ‘cultural heart’ for the scheme, combining existing and new architecture. The proposals have been designed by award-winning architects’ practice Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.Proposals for Cambridge Street Collective – which will sit behind Henry’s Corner and Bethel Sunday School on Cambridge Street – include a large, industrial-style space for food and drink, and entertainment uses. The historic building fronts will be retained and adapted to bring them back into use, with a new structure added behind designed to complement the older architecture.Wrapping this space will be shops, a bar and restaurant, and an upper level leisure space. The existing Bethel Chapel building will also be renovated, with plans for this to become a live entertainment venue.Next to Cambridge Street Collective, a visually striking low-carbon office building is proposed for the vacant site in between Cambridge Street and Carver Street. The new premises will provide about 70,000 sq ft of Grade A office space over seven floors, with shops, restaurants or cafés at the ground floor.
