The Moor re-development

[hella good]

That's probably the most we can expect externally

Here's the planning application from the planning website:

[hella good]

Yeah it appears to be mainly window replacements externally

[Mr Brightside]

How are the public relm works coming along?

[Master_P]

Had a walk down late last week and they have started paving the bit directly above atkinsons (basically starting where they finished the last lot of paving).

[blades_lad]

Has anyone got any progress pictures of the StudyInn student flats above Atkinson's? be interesting o see if it's freshened the front up a lil

[hella good]

Well all you can really see is scaffolding right now

[Master_P]

Application gone in to split the old peacocks unit into two separate units. Also changes to rear of building and basement for what looks like a gym or similar.

There goes the rumour about TJ Hughes moving in there then?

They could move into the old BHS unit on Castle Gate, they would have to kick out Home Bargins though.

Not neccessarily. The Peacocks unit would be fine for their temporary store, but not for the full size one. Given they want to be in a full size store by the end of 2013, its possible that this new application is going in now so that work can start to convert the unit as soon as TJ moves out.

How about Sunwin or Castle House?

Sunwin is gonna be demolished and I think Castle House is too far out of the way and I don't think it will have the space that TJ needs.

Is the old Robert Brothers building still proposed to be demolished (presume for Sevenstone) or could TJ Hughes go there at least on a temporary basis? Alternatively could the former JJB Sports be a possibility if Peacocks is unavailable or could TJ Hughes even perhaps takeover Atkinsons and move into that store?

Still the Moor does certainly need a lot of work done to it to put it up to scratch with Sevenstone an absolute must imo as well as improving pedestrian links to the rest of Sheffield City Centre in particular by either re-routing Furnival Gate or sinking Furnival Gate underground. Is the old Sunwin House / McDonalds building redevelopment plans on track and have any pre-lets been announced for that.
