Final call: Local Plan comments by 5pm tomorrow
A quick final reminder: the Local Plan consultation closes tomorrow - Thursday 11 December - at 5pm.
If you haven’t yet sent in your comments, there’s still time — and every response counts.
It doesn’t need to be long or technical. What matters is that residents take a moment to register their concerns and show why the Green Belt matters to our community.
Over the past few weeks, so many of you have taken the time to read documents, discuss, and support one another. That sense of community has been the strongest part of this whole process.
Whatever happens next, the fact that neighbours have come together — constructively and with real care for S13’s Green Belt — is something to be proud of.
If you can, please make time before 5pm tomorrow to send your response. Every submission counts. And it shows the Inspectors that these changes affect real people and our community.

References the EXAM document number
Explains the issue clearly
Sets out the reasoning the Inspectors need to hear
All you need to do is add your name and address and either:

How to Submit Your Objection
There are three easy options. Use whichever works best for you.
1. Email it directly to Sheffield City Council
Send to: sheffieldplan@sheffield.gov.uk

2. Drop it off locally

Please drop off by 12pm on 11 December so we can deliver them in time.
Why Your Response Matters
Every single response is logged, counted, and passed directly to the Inspectors.
This consultation is open only because residents challenged the process. A strong further response now shows:
Our community is watching
We care about our Green Belt
The evidence still doesn’t justify these allocations
S13 is not giving up or losing interest
This is our chance to demonstrate - clearly, fairly and formally - that the proposed development of S13’s Green Belt is not supported and not justified.
