Kelham Neighbourhood

@geoeverything @ArundelsN @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Agreed. This proposed development may still go this way, which would be welcomed. Time will tell.

@Kelham_KINNF @ArundelsN @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar It is the case that many plans come back to committee after amendments - normally there is some idea what the scope of such alterations will be & this will have been discussed by planning officers & the developer/planning consultant

Interesting to see the SCC Planning Comm in action re the Hive development on Bowling Green St. @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems councillors voted against approving the too tall building and tiny sized flats but it was voted through by @SheffLabour against the community's wishes.

@geoeverything @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Having an up to date Local Plan would help though, albeit the way the National Planning Policy Framework is written it wouldn’t in itself prevent undesirable housing proposals when a Council can’t show a 5 year housing land supply.

@Kelham_KINNF @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Performative. You know as well as anybody that if the scheme is voted down it will go to appeal - SCC will lose and will have spent £x on lawyers for no good reason. The real problem is the lack of a local plan with space stds in it - which can happen.

@geoeverything @ArundelsN @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Not so. If refused, the applicant has two real choices: 1) appeal and hope the Planning Inspectorate determining the proposal as submitted, or 2) work with the Council to amend the proposal to overcome the grounds of objection. We think this case could have gone either way tbh.

@Kelham_KINNF @ArundelsN @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar An absolute given - can you name a single decision in Sheffield that went to appeal and got knocked back again? It really doesn't matter if the scheme is completely crap. Depressing but how much £ would you like SCC to waste on legal fees?

The @EnvAgencyYNE #FieldTeam are out today after heavy rain this morning. They’re clearing debris screens and responding to incident reports. P1 & P2 shows the #RiverSheaf level after the heavy rain. P3 & P4 shows the #CarrBrook debris screen after #FieldTeam had cleared.

@sj_unwin @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Yes, but the officer report identified a number of negatives that showed it was a finely balanced decision. Ultimately it was one for the politicians to decide on whether it was acceptable or not, and we got to see how they voted.

@Kelham_KINNF @SheffieldGreens @SheffLibDems @SheffLabour @sheffieldtrib @SheffieldStar Did the planning officer recommend approval?

Join us for a day full of tricks & treats this Halloween*. Free entry all day and no need to book *sadly our face painter can no longer attend today’s event

Great article and thank you for covering the SCC Planning Committee 👍 It’s important to shine a light on how urban change is managed in our city and how those we elect perform their duties. PS …when the screens are working! 😬

Happy #Halloween! Here’s a creepy crawly location you’ll find along the Five Weirs Walk in #Sheffield… Cobweb/Spider Bridge is named because of the web-like suspension, but it’s also home to three huge steel spiders watching you from above.🕷🕸😱 📸IG: @outerlimis_landscapes

@LizBentley28 @DouglasJSheff @SheffCouncil @sccstreetsahead @MartinPhipps13 @RuthMersereau Liz - I’ve seen your later tweet with the address and so I’ve reported this bin on the SCC website. Let’s see how quickly the system works… 🤞

@LizBentley28 @SpikeManZombie @DouglasJSheff @SheffCouncil @sccstreetsahead @MartinPhipps13 @RuthMersereau Also, SCC has a website where anyone can report a problem with street litter bins, such as it being full. You need to detail the location but it’s pretty straightforward. Where is this bin? Looks like Green Lane outside Brooklyn Works.

It’s great to have bigger bins ⁦@SheffCouncil⁩ ⁦@DouglasJSheff⁩ and thank you…but do we need extra ones, or more regular collections esp at weekends now footfall has increased? Also, lots more dog walkers so maybe bins specifically for dog waste?

Spotted an overflowing bin in #KelhamIsland or #Neepsend? If yes, you can report it to Sheffield City Council for urgent action on the link below: sheffield.gov.uk/form/new-highw… #KelhamIslandLife #Sheffield #SheffieldisSuper

@SpikeManZombie @DouglasJSheff @SheffCouncil @sccstreetsahead @MartinPhipps13 @RuthMersereau …and it’s still like this at 8.34 this morning- disappointing @Kelham_KINNF are you aware of this problem? Grateful for the litter picks which residents kindly carry out but @sccstreetsahead @SheffCouncil need to do their bit

@LizBentley28 @SpikeManZombie @DouglasJSheff @SheffCouncil @sccstreetsahead @MartinPhipps13 @RuthMersereau Hi Liz. Thanks for raising this with us. Our sister organisation, KINCA, will be meeting with AMEY later this month about the bin situation and this will cover the need for more bins, greater frequency of emptying and the failure of the 75% full sensors. More on this to follow.

@1MollyWilliams As we said in our comments on this licence application, KINNF broadly welcomes the proposed use and particularly if it helps save an historically important building. However, we are concerned about the late hours and asked @SheffCouncil to look at slightly earlier closing hours.

This new venue that aims to celebrate the arts and be the centre of the Kelham Island community looks exciting thestar.co.uk/whats-on/thing…

Great to see the transformative effect of @SheffCouncil’s #GreytoGreen programme in full bloom at Exchange Place and Castlegate👏 Can we make #KelhamIsland & #Neepsend the next priority please?

Lovely chance today to commemorate and celebrate the official opening of our new green space, Naomi’s Corner. A place to enjoy nature, a moment of quiet or to meet your friends. Plus if you need someone in your corner, please get in touch. #KelhamIsland #Neepsend #GreenKelham

@LizBentley28 But things like this are minor setbacks, which can easily be overcome when good people care.

I try to keep my bit of Twitter a happy place but this was sad to see on our morning walk, after everyone’s hard work & kindness ⁦@Kelham_KINNF⁩ 😅
