£300m Peak Resort project given planning permission
The proposed Peak Resort development in Unstone, Derbyshire, has finally been given the go-ahead by Chesterfield Borough Council after 19 years in the planning. The project, expected to cost £300m, is to be located within 300-acres of green belt land adjacent to the River Drone. The development’s centrepiece will be a 312-metre domed structure, housing a 26-room hotel and spa, a 50-unit apartment/hotel condominium, restaurants, bars, a sports injury clinic, and a life-long education centre. Outdoor facilities, situated within the 40-hectares of woodland will include horse riding, tennis, and an 18-hole golf course, which is hoped to become the third PGA branded academy in the UK. Set within the woodland, alongside the course, will be 250 holiday lodges.
