100 jobs a step closer as plans revealed for new activity centre

How the PEAK resort could look

A planning application has been submitted to Chesterfield Borough Council to build Adrenaline World, the latest venture by David Lloyd.

Adrenaline World will be built at PEAK in Chesterfield and represents the beginning of the phase one delivery of the resort.

The plans reveal an indoor activity centre including zip lines, climbing walls, caving, ninja course, trampolining, rope courses, fun walls, adventure golf and e-karts, based at PEAK, Sheffield Road, Unstone, Chesterfield.

PEAK plans to be an integrated leisure, health, sport and education destination on the edge of the Peak District National Park; set on the 300-acre Birchall Estate in Chesterfield.

Councillor Tricia Gilby, leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, said: “The council has worked closely with the developer of PEAK for a number of years and is pleased to receive the planning application for Adrenaline World which if approved will enable the first element of the PEAK resort to be delivered on the site.

“If successful it is anticipated that Adrenaline World will create 100 jobs in Chesterfield with more employment expected as the remainder of the PEAK resort development comes forward.”

Developers of the PEAK site are planning a phased development, with phase one, which includes the Adrenaline World proposals, costing in the region of £100m and representing approximately one third of the total outline planning permission.

Attractions in phase one are hoped to include: Adrenaline World – an indoor adventure activity centre; a lake and amphitheatre; gateway building and travel hub; hotels, covered events space, multi discipline cycling trails and car and coach parking.

Works previously completed on site, thanks to a £2.8m Sheffield City Region Infrastructure Fund grant, saw a new roundabout created with access directly connecting the site with the A61 Dronfield bypass.
