Looks like a Planning application has gone in confirming the rumours in this thread: https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/walls+training/new_sheffield_depot_boulde...

Great news! Can't imagine it will be refused PP, so any guesses on how long it'll take to open?

Great spot.

Planning application - https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetail...

Layout - https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/files/26FD36CEF3B... Looks good, and would be easier to get to than t'other place for me. Used to enjoy the Leeds Depot a lot when I was up in Huddersfield every week

Edit - only remaining question is, what's the nearest good pub? Suggestions welcome!

Very close to Awesome Walls and Foundry, easier than Works for me to get to but more difficult for my climbing mates. I wonder if they could put in access from the back of the tram stop, would be a good idea for access for kids. 

I think they're hoping to open in October. Of course with such a lot of work to do there could well be some delays.

It's also meant to be even bigger than the Manchester one - which is already huge.

The new depot site is about 1.5 to 2 miles from the 3 sheffield walls (the works, awesome walls and the foundry) so not that close. Yes it's great it's next to a tram stop!

Well over 3 miles from the Works by my calcs. Hopefully this'll mean the end of having to que to climb considering the size of it.
