Proposals to convert a former family social club into seven flats have been approved despite objections from local residents.
Redevelopment plans for the Chaucer Close Social Club in Sheffield received 12 objections from residents, who raised issues over parking, noise, disruption, safety and loss of green space.
One resident said they opposed the plans “due to ongoing anti-social behaviour, drug-dealing, prostitution and excessive vehicles, which are already obstructions to essential services”.
However, Sheffield City Council’s planning committee approved the plans, with the owner and developer stating that crime in the area had gone down and there was “a great need for affordable rentals”.
