Derelict farm complex is targeted for 'all-in-one' leisure activity centre

SOFT PLAY, ROCK CLIMBING AND 10-PIN BOWLING INCLUDED IN PLANS FOR THE SITE

A DERELICT Derbyshire farm complex next to a vast array of former quarry lakes could be turned into a “unique” jobs-boosting leisure activity centre.

The forlorn-looking Home Farm complex in Pasture Lane, Long Eaton, now neighbouring the Spring Lakes Watersports Centre, has been fenced off and boarded up for some time.

Documents submitted to Erewash Borough Council detail the site had been earmarked as a headquarters for quarrying giant CEMEX and John Ryan Developments.

Work had started on those approved plans in 2018 but have since been cancelled.

Now the new owners, the neighbouring Spring Lakes Watersports and Leisure Centre, have revealed the plans for what it calls a “unique opportunity” to redevelop the site.
