The Northern Gateway is a key location centred on the meeting point of Newbold Road, Sheffield Road and Saltergate at the Holywell Cross roundabout, in close proximity to Chesterfield College, the University of Derby’s Chesterfield Campus, Chesterfield Waterside development site and the railway station - a planned stop for HS2 services.
Chesterfield's retail centre is to the south, focused around the market square and Vicar Lane, which link to the Northern Gateway via Elder Way and Packers Row.
As the council owns much of the land and property in the Northern Gateway area, we are in a strong position to progress the proposals.
We have also secured funding support from the Sheffield City Region Infrastructure Fund (now known as the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority) to carry out developments that will stimulate future investment in this area, including:
- a new enterprise centre
- improvements to the public space at Elder Way and Knifesmithgate
- redevelopment of the Saltergate multi-storey car park.
We're working with existing stakeholders to build a vision for the Northern Gateway, to show how investment could be directed into the area in future, and we're keen to work with investors and developers with proposals for this area.
