Concerns Over Green Belt Land Release for Housing Development
As a charity dedicated to protecting the Green Belt since the 1930’s, we remain committed to advocating for its preservation.
We understand that many residents are concerned about Sheffield City Council’s decision to release Green Belt land for housing development.
At a meeting on Wednesday 30th April 2025, the City Council’s Strategy and Resource Committee voted in favour of proposals to release 3.6% of the Green Belt for housing and employment development.

When will decisions be made?
These proposals will now be presented to the full council at the next meeting on Wednesday 14th May. If approved, they are currently due to go to public consultation on the 26th May 2025.
It is anticipated that the Plan will be adopted in July 2026.
How can CPRE PDSY support us?
We will continue to monitor the proposed allocations and respond to the public consultations as more details about proposed developments are released.
Unfortunately, due to limited resources we are currently unable to respond to all individual enquiries, however we offer guidance on how to participate in planning consultations via our website.
