Once-thriving Debenhams store loved in the 90s to be transformed into cinema, gym & hundreds of homes
A DEBENHAMS that was once a bustling shopping hub is set to be transformed into a co-living space. The former store is set to be demolished and replaced by a ten-storey block with a cinema, gym and podcast studio. 2 Similar to student halls, the plan submitted to Chelmsford City Council envisages 181 single-occupancy rooms. If approved, each room will have a bed, kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom. They will also have a wardrobe, desk and storage. The communal spaces will contain facilities like a lounge, co-working space, event space, a gym, cinema and podcast studio. The shared areas will be available to the public on an invite-only basis. The vision for the development is to provide young professionals with affordable living spaces. Co-living housing is a new concept that is defined by a large-scale purpose-built shared accommodation. In cities, there has been a rise in single people and couples living in warehouses and large disused buildings for cheap rent. Savills have said that co-living schemes are a way to tackle the cripling housing crisis by "offering shared affordable, high quality accommodation, predominantly for 18 to 40-year-olds, with fully furnished private living units, communal areas and often flexible working space'. A planning statement said: 'The site sits in a primary location within the Chelmsford City Centre, opposite the River Chelmer and within walking distance to Chelmsford High Street, and to both Chelmsford train station and bus station. It was formerly in use as the servicing block to the adjacent Debenhams department store. "However, it is now redundant with limited scope for it to be brought back into use for retail servicing. "On this basis, it presents as a highly sustainable brownfield site with substantial scope to enhance and contribute towards the wider strategic goals of Chelmsford." This comes after another former Debenhams was given a new lease of life as an entertainment venue. After the business went into administration in 2020, hundreds of the huge department stores were left empty on UK high streets. Now, one of the abandoned stores has been completely transformed into the ultimate entertainment space. The Debenhams in Midsummer Place, Milton Keynes has been revamped by entertainment company Lane 7. The 40,000 square foot space has been kitted out with a bowling alley, roller skating rink, golf simulators, bumper cars, pool tables and a gaming experience. Lane 7's Luke Harvey said: "The culture of what people want from their nights out has changed a lot recently, the shift from being a drinking culture has stopped a little bit, especially for 18-24 year olds. "People want a little more from their nights out; they don't necessarily want to go to a nightclub anymore. "They want something fun and something they can do with a range of different friends and families." Since opening in March, the venue has seen about 2,300 visitors on its busiest days which are usually Friday nights and evenings. The entertainment company has taken over the ground floor, while Sports Direct occupies the upper floors. Although shoppers can still buy from Debenhams online, all of its 124 beloved high street stores closed down because of falling profits and rising debt. The financial problems were triggered by a combination of consumers moving online, as well as Covid lockdowns which stalled profits. Across the country, councils and developers have been repurposing former Debenhams stores. One in Northampton was demolished and replaced by student housing in October 2024, a fate that will follow for the two other stores left in the city. 2

EXCLUSIVE: Dundee pub in line for 6-figure transformation after roof blown off during storm
A Dundee pub is in line for a six-figure transformation after its roof was blown off during a storm. The Charleston Bar has been closed since sustaining severe damage during Storm Arwen in 2021. Plans are now being put in place to bring the once-popular Charleston Drive pub – known locally as the Charlie Bar – back to life. City Centre Pubs Dundee, run by the Marr family, has taken over the bar and hopes to have it open next year, subject to planning approval. Director Peter Marr Jr has revealed artist's impressions of how the building could look. He told The Courier: 'We're really looking forward to bringing this community pub back to life. 'Unfortunately, over the last few years, the building has fallen into a state of disrepair following the storm. 'We have some concept designs we're working on before going to planning. 'In the next couple of weeks, the plan is to make the building wind and water-tight for the time being. 'We need to work with architects to finalise our designs and assess the building as a whole. 'By the time we get planning, licensing and a building warrant, it will be next year before we can get to work on it. 'The hope would be to start working on it in January and have it open by the middle of next year.' Peter added: 'This will be a six-figure investment, creating 15 to 20 jobs. 'We're looking forward to working with the local community and hope the regeneration will benefit the whole area. 'As part of the new design, we're also exploring the potential for multi-purpose use at the site.' The Courier has taken a look at seven other Dundee pub sites that could be given a new lease of life, including Clancy's Irish Bar, which is owned by the Marrs.

Aberfeldy cinema shuts for 1 month to create 'bigger and better' events space
The cinema in Aberfeldy has shut for one month to create a 'bigger and better' events space. The Birks Cinema in Dunkeld Road closed on Monday as construction work on an upgraded creative hub got under way. The space is used for community events and has a cafe, which will also be closed during the renovations. Work is expected to last a month, with the cafe reopening on June 30 and the cinema on July 4. Cinema manager and film programmer Patty Havey, 41, told The Courier what filmgoers can expect from the project. She said: 'We're planning to host a grand opening at the end of July. 'We'll invite as many people as possible to come and walk through our new space. 'We're going through an upgrade where our mezzanine level is going to turn into a first-floor creative learning space. 'It'll be a larger area with a lot of improvements. 'It'll have audio and visual elements and blackout blinds, so we can show movies and stream rugby up there. 'We'll be able to host lectures, talks, and do a lot more workshops. 'The cafe will also be closed while we fit in a few improvements at the same time.' The funding for the construction project came from the SSE Griffin and Calliachar community fund. The grant to improve the activities and programmes at the cinema was from Creative Scotland's multi-year funding. Patty added: 'We didn't get quite as much as we requested, so we're definitely searching for ways to finish funding that project.' 'We want the cinema to offer more than just film, and do more for young people in Aberfeldy.' She added the new space will allow for a 'bigger and better' Birks Wilderness Film Festival in March 2026. In 2023, a fundraiser was launched to save The Birks Cinema from closure due to the 'perfect storm' of online streaming, cost-of-living crisis and good weather.
