Planning permission granted to convert Grade II listed building in to apartments

Chesterfield Borough Council’s planning committee has given conditional planning permission for conversion of the former Chesterfield Magistrates Court to apartments.

The development will include 14 one bedroom and 18 two bedroom apartments.

Dom Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager said “It is great that a new use has been found for this historically important building.  More people living in the town centre will support the retailers, restaurants and bars based here.”

Knightsbridge Court is a grade II listed modernist building built in 1963  which was designed by architect Joe Allen.

The building was vacated as a Court House in the late 1990s and was used for offices in the early 2000’s. The building has since lain vacant for some years.
