Construction Trends in Chesterfield
Chesterfield Waterside is a 300 million pound-plus regeneration of a 60 acre former industrial site by the River Rother, with Avant Homes delivering 173 two, three and four bedroom homes as part of its Waterside Quarter phase. The council's town centre has also secured almost 20 million pounds in Pride in Place funding, alongside the Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield public realm scheme centred on Stephenson Memorial Hall, due for completion in spring 2026. The council is separately targeting around 500 new homes a year borough-wide over the next 15 years and is seeking development partners for further town centre housing sites. Away from these schemes, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
