Hotel and offices plan revealed for former gig venue

The new Market Place scheme will be delivered in phases

Proposals for a new hotel and "high quality" offices on the former Assembly Rooms site in Derby have been unveiled - with a planning application set to be submitted in the new year.

The public are being asked for their views on updated plans to transform the derelict music venue in the city.

Earlier this year, developers revealed a project to convert the site into a multi-use community building - featuring exhibition space, a library and rooftop bar - called "DerbyMADE".

New proposals have now been published outlining plans for a dedicated office building called "DerbyWORKS", as well as the four-star "DerbyHOTEL".

The Assembly Rooms was badly damaged in a huge blaze that broke out in its roof car park in March 2014

A consultation to get people's thoughts on the redevelopment will run until 19 December, with a public drop-in taking place at Derby City Lab on Friday 21 November.

Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council, said: "The Market Place is an important part of Derby's identity, and we know that our residents are eager to share their thoughts and help shape the future of the site.

"This is an opportunity for everyone who works, lives or visits Derby to have their say on the latest plans before a full planning application is submitted in the new year."

The Assembly Rooms, which has been unused for 10 years following a fire, was due to be knocked down in "late autumn" last year.

But the council has not yet confirmed a new demolition date or timescale for completion.
