00:03Council planners have finally put to bed any prospect of a historic Chesterfield Workingmen's Club
00:08and its adjacent Bowling Green ever being revived after giving the go-ahead for a new housing scheme
00:14on the derelict site. The Borough Council's Planning Committee approved a planning application
00:19for 22 houses and flats at the former Old Whittington Miners' Welfare Club and its Bowling Green on
00:24Station Lane. A Chesterfield Borough Council spokesperson stated
00:29the likelihood of an alternative community facility being viable on the site is considered
00:34unlikely and not sufficient reason to justify opposing residential development of the site.
