Step forward for new Chesterfield stadium
Chesterfield Football Club's (CFC) plans to build a new £13m stadium at Whittingham Moor have taken a step forward after the club acquired 10 acres (4.05 hectares) of land from Wilson Bowden Developments (WBD).
The new 10,500-seat stadium forms part of a wider regeneration scheme, which also includes a Tesco superstore and a mixed-use retail and business development on the the former Dema Glass industrial site. Planning permission was granted six months ago by Chesterfield Borough Council after the government decided not to call a public inquiry into the scheme, which will see the club leave its current Saltergate home.
WBD has already started enabling works to provide road access and principle infrastructure for the scheme, which has received £500,000 from CFC with the support of the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA). Work on the new stadium is expected to take 50 weeks, and it is anticipated that the club will be able to move into its new stadium in time for the start of the 2010-11 season.
CFC chair Barrie Hubbard said: "Transferring over the land for our new football stadium is another significant step forward for Chesterfield Football Club and its supporters. We very much appreciate the crucial support from the East Midlands Development Agency, which has made this possible. "After all these years, we are now within sight of our end goal and look forward to finalising everything so building work on our new football stadium can commence."
