I think Sheffield is restricted for safety reasons. The airport is surrounded by dense housing or industrial areas or hills so there is very limited scope for emergency landing even by an experienced pilot of a SEP.
That's true, though takeoffs on runway 10 are fine in terms of EFATO options. For a long time after Sheffield opened SEPs were not even allowed to use the airport for those reasons. Not sure what brought the change of heart.
