Chesterfield Station Masterplan Flythrough

Ambitious plans to transform the area between the town centre and Chesterfield Train Station - creating a vibrant gateway to North Derbyshire and setting out potential sites to create around 850 new jobs
The proposals set out a vision for the future development of the area and are also designed to make the most of the once-in-a-generation plans for a High Speed Rail (HS2) link at Chesterfield.
Key proposals include:
Establishing the principle of new development plots to accommodate a mix of uses with the potential to generate a minimum of approximately 850 jobs
A new station link road (a through route) between Brimington Road and Hollis Lane with improved public transport access
Closure of the A61 on-slip road
A new public ‘boulevard’ for pedestrians and cyclists (including segregated cycle lanes) leading from the station to Corporation Street
Replacement of the existing A61 footbridge between the station area and Corporation Street with a new wider bridge, including a segregated cycle route.
Suggested changes to Corporation Street to improve accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists whilst retaining vehicle access to businesses.
A ‘transport hub’ including a multi-storey car park (with around 550 bays) and charging points for electric vehicles
A cycle hub with e-bike hire and secure cycle parking
An overall layout that has the potential for a higher quality of natural habitats including more tree planting
A new station forecourt to better accommodate buses, coaches, taxis and a drop off/collection point.
A continuous cycle link from Hollis Lane area through to Crow Lane
Funding for regeneration at and around the station and the preparation of a master plan has been obtained by Chesterfield Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council through both the Sheffield City Region (SCR) and East Midlands (D2N2) Local Enterprise Partnerships.

Looks awesome, I think maybe slightly taller buildings would be perfect.

With shops closing all over in the town centre people will be literally walking towards nothing.
