Yorkshire and the North East
Sheffield, south of the Leeds plan
Sheffield City Council is the local planning authority for the city. A home just over the boundary may be Barnsley, Rotherham or Derbyshire. The postcode decides, not the marketing name of the area.
The Ofsted region is the same broad one as Leeds, 580 homes at 31 March 2025. The housing and the plan are not the same, so the property work has to be done again.
Fiveways is based in Birmingham. This page is about the work in Sheffield, not a local branch.
Planning applications in this area are decided by Sheffield City Council.
- Bring the planning question before the Ofsted form if the building’s use is not already settled.
- Inspection preparation is the right piece of work when the home is open and the visit is the thing on the calendar.
- There is no Sheffield office. Email and the Birmingham phone number reach the same team.

Questions that come up here
Can you source a house in Sheffield?
We can help test whether a building can support the care, and whether the planning position is understood. We are not an estate agency and we do not hold a Sheffield property list.
What should we send first?
The address, what you intend to register, and any notice or refusal you already have. A deadline belongs in the first line.
Nearby, and not the same
- Leeds — Not the North East, even when the table joins them.
- Derby — City council and county council are not synonyms.
- Nottingham — The unitary city and the county ask different questions.
