The southern end of the canal in Chesterfield is being redeveloped as part of a £300&nbsp;million project called Chesterfield Waterside. This will provide housing and amenities in an area which is currently derelict land. The project involves the creation of a short length of new canal to create an island in the centre of the site, navigation being restored to a length of the river, and a new basin at the southern edge of the site. Funding for the canal work was provided by a grant of £500,000 from the East Midlands Development Agency.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Join the party – WRG is 40!|magazine=Waterways magazine|date=Summer 2010|issue=228|page=19|issn=0969-0654}}</ref> The basin was completed and was opened in October 2009, although it remains isolated from the River Rother, to which it will be connected by a lock, while a back-pumping facility will supply it with water. Outline planning permission for the whole site was granted on 15 March 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chesterfield.gov.uk/default.aspx?CATID=660&CID=4941 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006182826/https://www.chesterfield.gov.uk/default.aspx?CATID=660&CID=4941 |archive-date=6 October 2011 |publisher=Chesterfield Borough Council|title=Chesterfield Waterside| access-date= 14 June 2010}}</ref> In April 2012, the project was awarded a £2.4&nbsp;million grant by the Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership Board.
