DARFIELD looks set to have a big business boost after plans for a food store, five shops and housing on the former Foulstone school site were approved.
A food store, five smaller retail units, a 166 space car park and up to 35 new houses will occupy the site on Nanny Marr Road.
The demolition of the youth club off Barnsley Road, the only building left standing on the site, is included in the plans.
The plans have been submitted by Belper-based Peveril Securities.
Discussions for the retail units are ongoing involving Aldi, Lidl and Netto.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
