Redevelopment of Chesterfield pub approved
Planning permission has been granted to redevelop the site of The Trumpeter to create a new local centre for the Grangewood community in Chesterfield.
The demolition of The Trumpeter will enable a complete redevelopment of the site, creating a new local centre.
The proposals for the site include a new Pub/cafe-bar and convenience store along with 3-4 independent retail units, potentially creating 30 new jobs in the local area.
Terry Caton, Developer, said “Caton Enterprises Ltd is a local business operating in Chesterfield for some 23 years. As such we didn’t just want to take away the facilities from the community. We wanted to look at this site in a different way.’
Martin Rix, of MAD architects LLP, says ‘We are trying to create a new retail centre for the community, providing facilities and services which are much needed in the area, and hopefully this development can act as a catalyst for further improvements locally.’
The planning department commented in their committee report that “The development has been sympathetically designed to reflect the scale and form of the wider area. A contemporary design approach has been taken which is felt would give the scheme an independent identity that would serve beneficial.”
Terry says ‘The design team are now developing the technical design to enable works to start on site and we are looking to open the new local retail centre to the public in 2016″.
