According to a planning statement submitted to the borough council on behalf of the applicant, the proposal would ‘create approximately 30 more jobs’ and ‘create another award-winning spa … giving people the opportunity to relax in a spacious and safe environment’, helping to ‘put Chesterfield on the map’.
The documents add: “Since the pandemic, clients are more aware than ever of the benefits of looking after themselves and their well-being.
“The proposed development would allow the necessary growth and and be able to compete with some of the country’s finest spa destinations such as Champneys in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate, Ragdale Hall Spa in Melton Mowbray, Carden Park in Chester and Low Wood Bay in Windermere.

The new facility would be open seven-days-a-week, including Bank Holidays, from 9am to 9pm.
It is not yet known when a decision on the application will be made.
