Capital&Centric has secured planning consent for its Cannon Brewery scheme in Sheffield.

The development will see the former 4.2-acre Stones Brewery site in Neepsend transformed into a vibrant new neighbourhood featuring homes, creative workspaces, bars, cafés and green community space.

The first phase of the development will deliver 240 design-led apartments with the wider masterplan creating around 500 new homes and around 15,000 sq ft of commercial space for independent businesses, makers and creatives.

The on-site amenity provision will include a fully kitted-out gym, co-working spaces, residents’ lounge and a ‘mini cini’.

John Moffat, joint managing director of Capital&Centric, said: “Planning approval is a huge milestone for Cannon Brewery and another big moment for Neepsend. This place has been part of Sheffield’s story for generations and we are excited and proud to give it a new lease of life. With planning now secured, we are creating a new neighbourhood in one of Sheffield’s fastest-growing districts whilst celebrating heritage and history with hundreds of new homes, green led public spaces, vibrant workspace and somewhere people can live, work and socialise. It’s about taking an incredible piece of the city’s industrial heritage and making it relevant for the next generation.”
