Chesterfield Borough Council has now given the go-ahead for a number of changes to be made before the store reopens.
Planning documents say the neighbouring retail unit is currently a hot food takeaway.
“According to images available on Google Maps, the application site has been occupied by a Co-Op Store until approximately 2018 after this date the unit appears to be vacant,” the officer’s report adds.

A new delivery entrance will be created at the back of the shop along with a ramp and hand rails to assist in the delivery of the stock.
The plans also call for the blocking up of a side entrance to the property and the creation of a new air conditioning plant at the back of the unit.
No details are available on what will happen to the upper floor of the unit or when the shop will open.
There is also no indication in the plans about what the opening hours could be.
