Plans to transform a Derby church into offices have been submitted to the city council.
The proposals are for Chester Green Methodist Church on Mansfield Street, which was originally constructed in 1889 and closed its doors for good in June 2017.
The scheme would create four office units that can be configured according to the leaseholder’s need.
A design and access statement prepared by Simon Foote Architects says: “The proposed scheme aims to revitalize a long vacant Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our assessment has determined that converting it into Class E office spaces would effectively serve the needs of the local community while offering a financially viable and sustainable solution for the building and our client.”
It adds: “Our proposal envisions a versatile layout that can be easily adapted to accommodate the specific needs of various businesses. This adaptable layout provides potential investors with the flexibility to customize the size and number of offices they intend to lease, and thus making it a more attractive property.”
