Stevo Tennis Courts to be Built On
As stated in the post ealier today, a planning meeting concerning the proposed Student Village takes place tomorrow, Tuesday 10 May 2005. This has a significant impact upon Stephenson Hall, in particular the loss of the tennis courts, dining hall and a move to self-catering accomodation.
Trevor Sullivan, Assistant Principal Planning Officer, Sheffield City Council, can be emailed with your views:trevor.sullivan@sheffield.gov.uk
We have created a sample email that we feel highlights the views of many of Stephenson Hall's students, that students may wish to send:

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
RESIDENCE STRATEGY APPLICATION
(04/04058/FUL 04/04084/CAC 04/04108/CAC)
Dear Mr Sullivan,
I wish to object most strongly to the University's residence strategy application. I am a current resident of Stephenson Hall and have enjoyed the benefits associated with traditional Hall life.
If the proposals are allowed to proceed in their current form this will result in the destruction of Hall environments and the associated facilities which go hand in hand.
If the proposed development were to go ahead at Stephenson it would mean loss of the on site social facilities, having to walk to a central hub to obtain meals, loss of the tennis courts, which are an important amenity used extensively by students and general degradation of the the social and community spirit.
There are also major concerns over the suitability of the proposed buildings for incorporation into the Broomhill conservation area.
May I request that the City councilors reject this application in its current form totally, and insist that any future submission by the University is more in keeping with the local environment and recognises that many students wish to spend their first year away from home in a traditional Hall environment.

Student Village Planners Meeting
We recieved this email over the weekend regarding the University's Student Village Plans. More soon...
Hello,
I am a local resident on Southbourne Road, with an accommodation business called Corner House on the corner of Southbourne/Westbourne roads. I am therefore well switched in to your views regarding the Student Village.
Just in case you haven't been contacted a dozen times already........
There's to be the deciding meeting when the Planners are to advise the Councillors to accept the Student Village plans on TUESDAY 10th MAY at 2pm at the Town Hall.
It is hoped that as many as possible can meet on the steps of the Town Hall at 1.30 to show the Councillors that there is solid oppposition to the plans. We are allowed into the meeting, and it is hoped that there will be so many it will cause a problem!!! If you have someone who can speak at the meeting on behalf of Stephenson Hall, that would be great. The Uni talk of 'choice,' meaning the city centre and village sites, but most people would say they are reducing choice by removing the traditional Halls facilities, which most people will be presuming to remain. I don't think the plans make this at all clear.
Do you have a phalanx of students and staff who could be available? Placards?
Let's hope your firework display on Saturday has something to celebrate.
I leave it with you.
If any students could give their opinions to the planners, it would probably help, too. trevor.sullivan@sheffield.gov.uk
