Sheffield Housing Company (SHC), a joint venture development company between Sheffield City Council, Keepmoat and Great Places, has delivered much-needed affordable properties at the popular Pennine Village site – located only two miles from the city centre.
The partnership, charged with delivering 2,300 properties on a total of 23 Sheffield sites by the end of 2026, has agreed the sale of homes to Great Places to add an affordable housing offer to this popular new development.
Great Places has acquired a mix of two, three and four bedroomed properties – part-funded by Homes England – which have been let for affordable rent. Demand for the new homes was extremely high, and they are now fully occupied.
Pennine Village will feature 101 homes in total, all of which will benefit from the latest standards of design, including highly energy efficient cavity walls and photovoltaics which will help reduce homeowners’ energy bills.
In addition to the new homes, the development benefits from the recent introduction of the Sustainable urban Drainage Scheme (SuDS), at Manor Fields Park. It is designed to reduce flood risk whilst creating an environment for both wildlife and Sheffield residents to enjoy.
The SuDS was delivered by SHC, in partnership with the Council’s Parks and Flood Management teams and The Green Estate Community Interest Company – which manages the park on behalf of Sheffield City Council.
