DERBY, U.K. - iSportsWire -- Plans have been unveiled for a new world class sports, leisure, and film production hub in Derby.
A detailed planning application has been submitted to Derby City Council by Damien Walters Ltd to repurpose the former Aida Bliss factory on City Road in Chester Green.
A key element of the plans involve relocating the Derby City Gymnastics Club and associated sports clubs from their current home at Lancaster Sports Centre, located within the Chapel Street multi storey car park, which is set to be demolished as part of wider regeneration plans spearheaded by Derby City Council.
Prior to the submission of this formal application, two temporary planning consents had been approved at the City Road site, which enabled partial repairs and remediation of the buildings to be carried out.
Under these temporary consents rehearsal activities have taken place, culminating in scenes being shot by MARV Studios for their new action thriller, Stuntman.

The project brought 250 technicians and industry professionals to Derby to help manage the filming process for the movie, which will be launched later this year.
The planning application seeks full change of use to build on on-going conversion works, with the vision for a three-phase development. Phase one will see the conversion of the modern element of the building into a state-of-the-art gymnasium and stunt training academy.
Phase two will involve bringing forward the film production studios and the final phase will see the creation of a world-class rehabilitation unit, designed to support professionals in the stunt industry and elite sports people.
A public consultation event is set to take place in the coming weeks and anyone attending will get a first look inside the building and have the chance to learn more about the project. Further details about the event will be released shortly.
Commenting on submission of the planning application, Damien Walters said:
