FIELD LANE
Welcome to Your Place, your newsletter about Place Shaping on Field Lane.
What is Place Shaping?
Place Shaping is all about investing in the future of your community. We’re doing this by building modern homes, futureproofing your place, and regenerating new leisure spaces and facilities.
Place Shaping Update
Our contractor, Seddon Construction is making great progress with building 92 new homes over two phases.
Phase 1, which is the construction of 53 new affordable homes, has already begun. The phase 2 demolition of 52 one bed flats is now complete, ready for building work to begin.
We will be upgrading footpaths, local parks and communal spaces like the Burnsall Road Park and Arncliffe Centre. There will also be work beginning on waymarked walking trails for exercise and wellbeing.
Phase 1
53 new affordable homes for rent will be built across five smaller development sites at Arncliffe Crescent, Sherburn Road, Sherburn Road garages, Burnsall Road and Hanson Road.
The new homes will consist of:
• 36 x 2 bedroom properties (a mix of maisonettes, mews and houses)
• 11 x 3 bedroom houses
• 6 x 4 bedroom houses
Each of the new homes will be fitted with solar panels and air source heat pumps to create more energy-efficient homes for the area. Plans for the park are also included in this phase.
Phase 2
39 new energy efficient homes will be built in place of the cottage style flats which were demolished. These homes will consist of:
• 6 x 1 bedroom apartments
• 18 x 2 bedroom houses
• 15 x 3 bedroom houses
There will be three smaller development sites on Linton Grove, Burnsall Road and Smith Crescent. All of the new homes will be fitted with solar panels and air source heat pumps.

Seddon’s ‘Meet the Contractor’ Event
We really enjoyed seeing residents at the ‘Meet the Contractor’ event held at The Arncliffe Centre on October 23rd. It was great to talk about important topics like:
• construction timelines
• key milestones
• traffic management and access
• environmental and noise considerations
• how disruption will be minimised.
We also explored how residents can contact the Place Shaping team during the works. Residents can speak to teams at weekly Place Shaping drop-in sessions at the Arncliffe Centre. Residents can also contact Seddon’s by email at: fieldlaneenquiries@seddon.co.uk.
Weekly Drop-in Sessions
You can speak to us at the weekly dropin sessions with your Place Shaping officer Wendy Powell and Neighbourhood Officer Michelle Oldham: Every Thursday morning at the Arncliffe Centre 10am-1pm.
