A controversial proposal to transform a former Wilko store in Chesterfield into an aparthotel is set to be approved by the local council. The planning committee will be advised to give the green light to the project, which involves converting the upper floors of the Vicar Lane building into a 70-bed accommodation facility. But here's where it gets interesting: the developer plans to add two extra floors, with the ground floor potentially available for retail use. This development could bring a significant private sector investment to the town center, according to the planning documents. However, some residents are concerned about the potential impact on the area's character and the increased traffic. So, what do you think? Is this a welcome boost for Chesterfield, or could it change the area's charm forever? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
