Throughout
the lecture and seminar, I’ve gained basic knowledge on the construction development
planning system and related acts and regulations applicable in Sheffield. This information
is useful as it can be applied accurately in the module coursework to describe
the planning system of my proposed development.
For
my module coursework, I’ve planned to propose a redevelopment (either
refurbishment or demolition) on the existing building into a retail building to
facilitate catering industry. However, this is an early idea which is not
confirmed due to various unknown conditions. After understanding the local planning
system by exploring information online from Sheffield City Council website,
some policies have helped in ascertaining the possibility of my proposed
development. I’ve understood that the existing building is located within the
Conservation Area and is under flexible use area. This activity excites me because
each time I read through the website I will gain more knowledge for the
construction industry. I’ve also understood extra planning relevant policies
and system those are different from Malaysia and clarify the specialty of Sheffield’s
building requirements.
