4.2 Cathedral Quarter
Influences
The Cathedral Quarter has been designated within the UDP as follows:
- Predominantly a Business Area.
- Small area identified as a location for local Shopping with
a small section of High Street as a part of the Retail Core of
the Central Shopping Area.
- An area of Public Space at Paradise Square.
- Public Open Space at St. Peter and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
- Small area at west of quarter zoned for Housing.
The Cathedral Quarter is part of the Sheffield City Centre Conservation
Area, for which a statement of interest has been prepared, dated
August 1996. The Cathedral Quarter was not an area of focus within
the masterplan. A scoping study has been undertaken by the Council
to identify the issues which will lead to the development of an
Action Plan for the Cathedral Quarter. (Refer Scoping Study March
2002 (Draft) S.C.C. Development, Environment and Leisure).
The City Centre Living Strategy promotes the reintroduction of
high quality residential accommodation into the quarter which will
encourage a greater mix of activity.
As a pilot study emerging from the ‘Connect Sheffield’ work, the
departments of the Council are undertaking a review of the street
clutter in the Cathedral Quarter. This will prompt a rationalisation
of signs, removal of redundant furniture and creation of clear pedestrian
passage through the streets and spaces.
