The first phase of the 23-acre project, called Attercliffe Waterside, will see the construction of 362 homes comprising a mixture of three- and four-bedroom townhouses, and one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Phase one also includes new public realm space as well as a pedestrian bridge across the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal.
A public and commercial square will be created with a series of courtyards and walkways down to the canal, the developer said. The new pedestrian and cycling footbridge will connect phase one to the south side of the river.
Six historic buildings will be redeveloped in the centre of the site, which will include a café, bar, bakery, restaurant, offices and multi-purpose venue.
The houses will be built on a podium above an undercroft car park, with plans to pedestrianise stretches of Effingham Road, creating public space and a cycle lane.
Citu founder and co-director Chris Thompson said: “We are delighted to have secured planning permission for phase one of Attercliffe Waterside, which will kickstart the wider regeneration of Sheffield’s East End.
“It’s an area steeped in history and our plans have been inspired by the heritage industries that were powered by the waterways running through it. The area presents huge opportunities from its location alongside the canal and the River Don, with green space, the Olympic Legacy Park and easy access to the city centre by tram in just 10 minutes.”
Ben Miskell, chair of Sheffield City Council’s transport, regeneration and climate committee, added: “The creation of this brilliant new community forms part of our wider vision for Sheffield and links in beautifully with the large number of regeneration projects we already have in progress.
“Sheffield is a city attracting people to come and live here all the time; projects like Attercliffe Waterside will inspire more to do the same.”
Construction dates and costs for the scheme have not yet been disclosed.
