Construction Trends in Rotherham
Rotherham is part-way through a town centre regeneration programme that began with the 2017 masterplan and has already delivered the Forge Island leisure scheme, new markets and a library, plus 171 affordable homes across three council-owned gateway sites. The next phase is housing-led: plans to extend the Riverside Residential Quarter onto The Statutes and two sites on Sheffield Road are expected to deliver around 226 homes as a mix of apartments and townhouses, backed by a £30m town centre housing commitment, while £2.42m of Local Regeneration Grant funding is being used to work up business cases for five further council-owned brownfield sites. Away from the town centre, Wath-upon-Dearne, Dinnington, Maltby and Wickersley keep a strong stock of inter-war and post-war housing, generating a steady flow of extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions.
