New developments in Sheffield’s Heart of the City II scheme are taking place and further plans for Cambridge Street have been given the green light.
A Grade II Listed building, Leah's Yard is viewed as an important part of Sheffield’s industrial heritage and houses a collection of small, former manufacturing workshops.
As part of the transformational Heart of the City II scheme, Sheffield City Council and its Strategic Development Partner, Queensberry, are undertaking preliminary works to bring the derelict building back into a usable condition. The work will include significant structural reinforcement, roof repairs and new windows.

A number of credible submissions have been received in response to a call for expressions of interest, and a shortlisting process is now getting underway.
Adjoining Leah's Yard, the plans for another element of Block H on Cambridge Street – which will include a food hall or similar social offer, a live entertainment venue and a new outdoor square – received planning approval last week. Named Cambridge Street Collective, this part of the scheme also includes significant heritage retention. It will revitalise the famous Henry's Corner, DINA building and Bethel Chapel, with a new structure added behind which will contrast with and complement the older architecture.
