Contractor Clegg Construction, on behalf of its client Liverpool-based developer Brickland, has secured Gateway 2 approval for a £46m, 12-storey apartment scheme in Nursery Street, Sheffield.

The 267-apartment, build-to-rent development has received authorisation from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) – paving the way for work on site to begin in January 2026.

Gateway 2 was introduced under the Building Safety Act 2022 and is aimed at improving building safety, particularly for high rise buildings.

Michael Sims, managing director at Clegg Construction, said: “Securing Gateway 2 approval from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) confirms that this development in Sheffield meets the most stringent of safety requirements.

“This approval means that we can now proceed to the next stage, with enabling work starting on site to deliver this 12-storey concrete-frame apartment project.”

Clegg Construction has been appointed by Brickland Ltd to build the development. Other members of the team include architect Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson, built environment consultancy Ridge, MEP services consultant Futurserv, project manager and quantity surveyor Egan Lucocq Ltd, and Design Fire Services.

This is the latest in a number of residential projects that Clegg Construction has delivered in recent years including The Ironworks, a 12-storey apartment block of 229 properties in Sheffield, 185 apartments at Spinners Yard in Leeds, and Gilders Yard in Birmingham, which featured 158 new homes.

The company has been involved in several projects in Sheffield and is currently working on a new Faculty of Health building at the University of Sheffield.

With its head office in The Lace Market in Nottingham, Clegg Construction is a Midlands, East Anglia, and Yorkshire-based construction firm specialising in the delivery of public and private sector projects.
