FAQs
Where has the funding come from for these improvements?
When the Avant Homes and Barratts Homes developments were built, there were S106 contributions made to Sheffield City Council to help make improvements to green space local to the development. This money sits with Sheffield City Council and is allocated to Carterknowle Park and Spring Wood.
Will any changes to the park need planning permission?
This will depend on the scale and design of any proposed development. After this consultation closes and the results are analysed, we will communicate in the feedback if we will need to apply for planning permission for any elements of this project.
Have key stakeholders been consulted prior to this public consultation?
Yes. The following groups have been made aware that this consultation will be live:
- Friends of Carterknowle Park Group
- Mercia School
- Local Councillors
- South West LAC
When will works commence on site?
This will depend on what preferences, suggestions and ideas come back from this consultation. We hope to pull together feedback from this consultation early in 2024 to then progress work throughout the year and into 2025.
