The sites identified for homes and business are mainly in the S35 and S13 postcode areas, but also in S12, S10 and S17.
The Local Plan, when adopted, will outline where all types of development will be permitted in the city until 2039.
At the meeting of the council last week, campaigner Gillian Travis said “fundamental unresolved questions” remained over the Local Plan.
She asked council leader Fran Belbin: “What reassurance can she provide to residents that all reasonable brownfield and previously developed land opportunities have genuinely been exhausted before the permanent loss of Sheffield’s greenbelt?”
Belbin responded that the council had been given extensive evidence about potential for development on brownfield sites in urban areas, including the proposals for more than 18,000 new homes in the central area.
“Not all brownfield sites pass these tests, and some development opportunities simply don’t exist now but will come forward at some point in the future,” she added.
Public consultation on the proposed modifications to the Local Plan ended in May.
If inspectors give the go-ahead, the plan will come into effect this autumn.
