Sheffield Housing Company (SHC) is delivering 98 new affordable homes across three sites in the Manor area of Sheffield as part of the city's ongoing regeneration programme.

The development includes a mix of homes for affordable rent and shared ownership.

At Corker Bottoms, just off Harborough Road, the Council is purchasing 47 homes comprising two, three, and four-bedroom properties. At Eclipse (phases 12 and 13), off Harborough Avenue, a further 40 two, three, and four-bedroom homes are being built. Additionally, 11 homes at the Pennine Village development on Manor Park Road have been acquired by Great Places Housing Group.

SHC, a joint venture between Sheffield City Council, private developer Keepmoat, and Great Places, was established in 2011. It aims to deliver 2,300 new mixed-tenure homes across 23 sites by mid-2026. More than 300 new homes have already been completed for private sale, including at Beckett Hill in Parson Cross and alongside the new affordable homes at Eclipse and Pennine Village in the Manor.

SHC Development Director, Steve Birch, said: "We are committed to broadening housing choice, quality and providing greater access to affordable homes across the city. By working closely with our partners, we have been able to create developments and communities that share a more diverse tenure mix and are enabling local people to start their home journey.

"The properties created over the lifetime of the partnership have included housing for open market sale, affordable rent, shared ownership and private rent. At a time when the Government is promoting a huge increase in housing delivery across the country, Sheffield Housing Company continues to create new opportunities for people in this city."

Simon Robinson, Director of Neighbourhoods at Great Places, added: "We're proud to be part of this transformative partnership that's delivering high-quality, affordable homes in the Manor area.

"Pennine Village reflects our commitment to creating thriving sustainable communities where people feel proud to live. These new homes not only provide much-needed housing options but also contribute to the long-term regeneration of the area, supporting local people and strengthening neighbourhoods."

The partnership's entire development programme has benefitted from over £3m in funding from Homes England and more than £3m from South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.

As well as delivering these new homes, over a 14-year period, SHC has created and safeguarded over 1,685 jobs, 120 apprenticeships and provided 3,855 training opportunities. The partnership has spent more than £100m with construction businesses in the South Yorkshire region and contributed nearly £150,000 to local community groups, schools, public art projects and other good causes.
