Residents in North Wingfield could soon benefit from several new leisure facilities, with plans submitted to develop land off Williamthorpe Road.
Local developer, Inspire Design and Development is involved in the proposals, which include a pub, hotel, restaurant, wedding venue and nursery.
The proposal falls as part of one of the company’s existing projects in the area, a large development which already has outline approval for more than 500 houses between North Wingfield and Holmewood.
Calum Reford, graduate planner at Inspire Design and Development Ltd., said: “The proposal seeks to create a bespoke character area to create a local landmark which will be in-keeping with the existing and future built environment.
“The development represents a significant social and economic benefit to the area and will deliver a hospitality offer, alongside supporting the new dwellings currently under construction.
“The proposals will also deliver employment opportunities for local people, providing access to a new career in a unique venue. This development can provide a statement building that frames the entrance to help establish a sense of place and provide a facility that the area can be genuinely proud of.”
The company has also stated that the design for the new leisure development is inspired by traditional Derbyshire rural farm buildings, with a series of pitched roof pavilions and outdoor seating/eating areas with views towards Chesterfield and the Crooked Spire church.
