Postcode) Assembly Rooms, Market Place, Derby DE1 3AH The Assembly Rooms suffered a fire in the plant room in 2014 Description which made them unusable. The Council are looking to bring this key property back into use. Site Area – total gross 0.17 Hectares / 0.42 Acres Site Area – net developable area No net as an existing building Location Plan Site Plan Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 2 Developers Name N/A Landowners Name (if different Derby City Council from Developer) Developer / Landowner N/A relationship Scheme Agents No acting agents A3/A4 Retail at ground floor Existing Use Vacant upper floors in previous use as D2 Assembly and Leisure A1/A2/A3/A4 Retail D2 Assembly and Leisure - Guildhall Theatre Surrounding Uses D2 / A3 QUAD (Creative centre with indie cinema, art gallery, cafe- bar and events spaces for hire). The site is ideally located for access by residents and visitors in Accessibility (Pedestrian & Derby City Centre and can be accessed by vehicle via Corporation Vehicular) Street and Full Street. The Assembly Rooms incorporate a 214 space car park although it is poorly configured. Servicing to the Assembly Rooms is via Full Street which provides Service Access access to the rear of the property. The Assembly Rooms occupies a prominent position in Derby City Centre fronting onto the Market Place which is visible from Corporation Street / Full Street roundabout and Derwent Street Site Visibility & Prominence which connects the city centre with the east of Derby i.e. over the River Derwent. The Market Place is however, not an obvious focal point of the city- centre and the public realm could be improved. The site is situated in the Cathedral Quarter of the City Centre and is close to the Full Street police station site. The remaining land at Full Street which overlooks Cathedral Green has planning permission for office, with active ground floor uses. Proximity to other development opportunities The site is also located adjacent to the Market Hall for which regeneration plans are currently being considered of the Market space. We consider any refurbishment/ new opportunities to the Market Hall will provide an opportunity to bring more people through to Market Place and the Assembly Rooms. Scheme Name Assembly Rooms and Market Place Planning Policy Allocation (Plan) Central Business District – Office Development and Delivering a City Centre Renaissance (Policy CP11, AC1 and AC2). These Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 3 policies recognise the importance of office, retail and leisure uses in maintaining the vitality and vibrancy of the city-centre and achieving economic growth. CP11 encourages B1 and D1 development. The site lies in the northern part of the city centre within the City Centre Conservation Area. Historic Environment and Conservation Areas (CP20 and E18). These policies recognise the importance to preserve or enhance the special character of the Conservation Area; encourage physical Conservation Area and economic revitalisation and ensure that the new buildings enhance the Conservation Area. Planning permission will not be granted for development which would be detrimental to the special character of Conservation Areas and will not be approved where they would result in the demolition, or substantial demolition of buildings that make a positive contribution to the character a Conservation Area. There have been 7 planning applications associated with this site – Planning History none are however major applications. Design Considerations Design principles must adhere to the polices CP20 and E18. Consultants were commissioned in July 2018 to prepare a feasibility study investigating the scope, cost and programme for Developers strategy / aspirations delivering a renewed Assembly Rooms so that the venue can be re-opened to the public as soon as possible. The outcome from this work will inform a Council decision on how to progress this. In terms of the ground floor uses, A3/A4 uses would complement the renewed Assembly Rooms. The Market Place could be more flexible and accommodate outdoor events. What St James Securities have done with Millennium Square in Leeds is a good case study, this space is often used for events such as Tour De Yorkshire fan park / presentations etc. Hull Capital City of Culture – use of cities history / assets to provide temporary cultural / art offering e.g. The Blade – the Council could capitalise on the presence of and heritage of Rolls Royce. Potential other uses Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 4 The site is located in the Conservation Area, therefore new Barriers to development development and design principles must adhere to the polices CP20 and E18. Progress the delivery of a refurbishment / redevelopment projects at the Assembly Rooms. Commission a masterplanning study to integrate the Assembly Rooms proposals with the Market Hall and Actions Market Place. The objective of this should be to create a new public square and improved public realm which is flexible, encourages movement through the site and is capable of holding events. This should seek to build upon Derby’s heritage. Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 1 Site Reference Audley Centre Site Address (inc. Postcode) St Peters St / East Street, Derby DE1 2AA The Audley Centre is an existing shopping centre situated within the heart of the City-Centre on St Peters Street. There is a proposal Description coming forward to extend upwards to provide residential as well as refurbish and recongifure the ground floor retail offer with a change of use to A3. Site Area – total gross 0.74 acres / 0.3 ha Site Area – net developable area No net as an existing building Location Plan attached Site Plan attached Developers Name Starlyst UK Investments Lux Sarl Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 2 Landowners Name (if different N/A from Developer) Developer / Landowner N/A relationship Scheme Agents FHP – 01332 343 222 A1 Retail Existing Use A2 Financial & Professional Services A1 Retail (Comparison and Convenience) A2 Financial & Professional Services A3 Restaurants and Cafes Surrounding Uses A4 Drinking Establishments B1 Offices D2 Gymnasium The Audley Centre is situated in the heart of the city-centre and is therefore very accessible to pedestrians, particularly as St Peters Street and Easter Street are pedestrianised. Accessibility (Pedestrian & Vehicular) Vehicular access is therefore more difficult as there is no specific allocated car parking for the Audley Centre. The nearest car park (which is not on street) is at the Intu Shopping Centre or Intu Riverside Car Park. There is service access to the Audley Centre provided via Intu, however the connection involves using the connecting bridge over East Street which would restrict heavy loads. In the revised plans it Service Access is this service yard on top of the retail centre which is to be built on but access will still remain over the bridge and to the loading areas. We understand that St Peters Street can also provide service access. St Peters Street is one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares from Intu to the Market Place and Cathedral Quarter. It is therefore a prominent retail pitch which is on the East Street / St Peters Street Site Visibility & Prominence junction. East Street provides a link through towards the Riverlights scheme and Derby River Gardens. However, the 1970s architecture makes this scheme lacks a positive presence on the high street. Eagle Market – recently acquired by Intu, we understand that their Proximity to other development aspiration is to bring in more local independent food retailers and opportunities either a large leisure use(s) at the front of the market or redevelop this to residential. Derby Retail and City Centre Study - Site Assessment Pro-Forma / 3 Market Hall – another market but in the ownership of Derby City Council. Becketwell / Former Debenhams – these are sites also owned by the City Council with the intension of bringing forward a mixed-use development with some residential in the former office building here. Scheme Name The Audley Centre, 21-33 St. Peters Street & 22-38 East Street Central Business District – Office Development and Delivering a City Centre Renaissance (Policy CP11, AC1 and AC2). These policies recognise the importance of office, retail and leisure uses in maintaining the vitality and vibrancy of the city-centre and achieving economic growth. CP11 encourages B1 and D1 development but AC2 indicates that there is no immediate Planning Policy Allocation (Plan) requirement or expectation that this site would be redeveloped but proposals will be supported for retail or leisure. Core Area – Centres and Delivering a City Centre Renaissance (Policy CP12 and AC2). CP12 clarifies that the city centre is the focus for comparison retail which this site accommodates currently. The focus for new comparison retail is within this core area. The site is not situated within a Conservation Area but the adjoining properties no.11 St Peter’s Street and the former Co-Operative on East Street are listed buildings. City Centre Character Area policy (AC2) – in relation to the St Peters Quarter this policy prioritises the following opportunities: Conservation Area Mixed-use regeneration of Becket Well and Duckworth Square Revitalisation of the East Street / Albion Street / Exchange Street / Morledge area Implementation of public realm improvements at The Spot and St Peter’s Cross Change of use application (12/09/01418) – resulting in the loss of use class A1 units to A3, and A2 which was granted conditionally in 2010. Planning History Erection of additional storeys (07/16/00837) – to provide 48 residential units (1 and 2 bed flats), alterations to the first and second floor elevations and change of use from retail A1 to restaurant A3 at 21 St Peter’s Street (145.6 sqm unit).

The City does not yet have a reputation as a leisure or business tourism destination and there is a significant opportunity for growth. To improve as a destination the city must promote a unique Derby identity and support developments that improve the visitor experience. The demise of the RDA’s and no apparent clarity on government funding for tourism has created a great deal of uncertainty around how the visitor economy will be managed going forward. However, with a new national government policy on tourism and a new marketing strategy from VisitEngland, together with the introduction of a new ‘Derby Plan’, the time is right to identify the best opportunity for Derby and tie it into the wider plans to take full benefit of opportunities as they emerge.

  • Track Changed’ Version of Proposed Draft Changes to Core Strategy Policy Text
    Appendix 4: ‘Track Changed’ Version of Proposed Draft Changes to Core Strategy Policy Text August 2014 1 Foreword: Derby is a special place; a historic and industrial city on the doorstep of one of the UK’s most visited and picturesque national parks, the Peak District. It’s a city which is passionate about progress and continues to grow, punching above its weight in terms of its contribution to the UK economy. A city that is home to prestigious global brands such as Rolls- Royce, Bombardier and with close links to Toyota, with a highly skilled workforce specialising in the manufacture of planes, trains and automobiles. A city with excellent road and rail links close to a rapidly expanding regional airport. Derby is an attractive city where people want to live and work and where people come to shop, to be entertained and to spend their leisure time. Derby is a city which, despite its rapid growth, retains its heritage and has valued areas of green space and high quality townscape; a city that has a World Heritage Site at its heart. The challenge for the future is to meet the demands for economic prosperity while retaining the qualities that make Derby such a special place. We need to solve existing and emerging problems and to establish Derby as a sustainable city fit for the 21st century. Our best chance to meet these existing and future challenges and keep Derby as a place we can all be proud of, is to plan for them. Thies draft version of the Core Strategy sets out how Derby City Council intends to meet these challenges up to 2028.
