Gleadless Valley Regeneration

Let's Build a Better Gleadless Valley Together

Gleadless Valley Regeneration and Heeley Trust are joining together with residents so we can make Gleadless Valley a better place to live for everybody.

Your ideas and feedback will help shape what happens next

Sheffield City Council currently has around £40 million to invest in Gleadless Valley to help make the community stronger, healthier and better connected.

These funds can be spent on improving existing homes, reimagining green spaces, and investing in local services, jobs and support. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make long-term changes that reflect what local people want and need.

To help us connect with residents and involve as many voices as possible, we’re working in partnership with Heeley Trust and other local organisations with deep roots in the community and a strong track record of making things happen in Gleadless Valley.

This funding is just the start. We’ll also be using it to unlock more investment from Government, developers and other partners. But to make it work, we need your voice.

    Exciting Plans Taking Shape for the Future of Gleadless Valley


    Big things are happening in Gleadless Valley – and the local community is at the heart of it all

    The Gleadless Valley Regeneration Programme is now gathering pace, with refreshed plans being developed to improve homes, green spaces, local facilities, and job opportunities – all shaped by the people who live and work in the area.

    Originally launched in 2022 and led by Sheffield City Council’s Regeneration Team, the project is all about long-term change driven by local voices. A major milestone was reached in August 2024 when the Leader of the Council apologised for the uncertainty residents had experienced through delays in delivering the masterplan and the Council’s Strategy & Resources Committee gave the green light to review and refresh the original masterplan, unlocking the next exciting chapter for the Valley.


    A New Beginning: The Regeneration Plan

    At the centre of this new phase is the Regeneration Plan – a bold and practical roadmap for the next ten years. It’s being developed to turn shared ambitions into real-life projects to transform the valley. It will:

    • Set out clear priorities and timeframes for improvements to homes, public spaces, and local services
    • Attract investment and new partnerships to help fund projects
    • Give communities, councillors and partners a shared vision to work towards


    Shaped by the Community

    The plan builds on years of community conversations. From online chats to local workshops, residents have been sharing their hopes, frustrations and ideas. That feedback – along with housing and planning data – is currently with design experts employed by the council to develop into a costed ‘feasibility’ plan. This will enable us to start to make important decisions on where to begin our investment in improving homes, communities and green spaces.

    What Happens Next?

    Over the summer, the design experts at HLM Architects and Arup are working closely with the Regeneration Team and the community to create detailed design options and costings for priority areas.

    In August and September, residents will have the chance to get involved again – through social media, local groups, neighbourhood tours and doorstep conversations. The design team will be back in the Valley, listening, learning and testing ideas.

    Then, in October and November, those ideas will come back to community members and the Regeneration Board for review. Once we’ve set the ambition, we’ll then need to take it out to the market and look to secure investors and developers who will make the plans a reality.

    This will take time, but in the shorter term, 12 – 18 months, we will begin work on making the improvements needed to existing council homes.


    Be Part of the Journey

    This is an exciting moment for Gleadless Valley. The Regeneration Plan is not just about bricks and mortar – it’s about creating a thriving, welcoming and sustainable neighbourhood for everyone.

    Whether you're a resident, a business owner, or someone who loves the Valley – your voice matters. Look out for updates in the coming weeks and help shape the future of your community.
