Casa hotel given green light
Proposals for the £20m Casa Hotel and Office scheme on the outskirts of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, have been given planning consent by the borough council.
The scheme, designed by Carey Jones Architects on behalf of Bradbury Hall Developments, comprises a 100-bedroom hotel with a banqueting suite, conference rooms, restaurants and bars and exterior landscaping. The top two floors (1,500sq m) will be dedicated office space. Mike Harris, director at Carey Jones Architects, said: "We are confident that The Casa Hotel and Office development will benefit the whole community as a great catalyst for the wider regeneration of this part of Chesterfield and be an exemplar project in design and sustainability terms."
The scheme is designed to complement the ongoing growth and development along the A61 corridor at the Whittington Moor site, which is set to be the home of Chesterfield Football Club's new 10,000 seat stadium and the relocation of the new look Tesco superstore.
