Hotel to be transformed into office block

The Chesterfield Hotel site in Derbyshire which has been unused since 2015 has had permission granted for transformation into office space for 300 people.

The site has been empty since the hotel closed in 2015, and permission had been granted for it to be demolished.

The plans involve the construction of two three-storey buildings. The first building will have enough space for about 164 people, and the second three-storey building for 138.

There is a further idea, not yet approved, to raise the height of the second phase building by a further three storeys.

Chesterfield Borough Council and owner Prestige Hotels (Midlands) Ltd are behind the proposals.

A council document published ahead of the meeting said: “The application site lies on the edge of the Chesterfield town centre, which enables it to be well served by alternative means of transport and therefore is regarded as a sustainable location.

“The proposed redevelopment of the site for a B1 office use has been sequentially tested and is considered to be acceptable.”

Building your new premises from scratch is the perfect opportunity to install a new time and attendance system, since it enables you to control the wiring and the placements of doors and other useful factors.

Time and Attendance Midlands offers a contactless smartcard and biometric clocking terminal with clocking options ranging from smartcard only right up to 3 factor authentication of smartcard, PIN and biometrics. This hardware registers staff entrances and exits as they present their identification, and delivers the information to the central software in real-time. It is a quick and user-friendly process.

Our Biometric Fingerprint Reader is designed to give absolute peace of mind that the correct person was present when scanning. Once registered on the fingerprint scanner, the image of the patterns usually found on the fingertip is converted into a code through a secure algorithm, which is then stored on the time and attendance system database for future comparison and authentication.
