- Increasingly connected to Sheffield via A61 and more bus routes for access, also there is free parking to encourage visitors
- Decisions of individual businesses (e.g. Fat Cat pub) to raise prices, making their customers more middle-class than working-class
- Proximity to city centre + Don made it attractive for private investors
- The Kelham Island and Neepsend Action Plan, published in 2008 by Sheffield Council, set out Kelham Island as an attractive location for private investment.
- National
- Impact of the global shift and globalisation meaning a decline in manufacturing and the opening of tertiary sector businesses
- Influence of the National Regeneration Agencies, provided grants to private developers such as Gleeson's to stimulate development (Gleeson's received 1/4 of its total costs to develop from this body)
- In the future the Tory government's 'Level Up' policy may make a huge difference
