South Derby Growth Zone including Sinfin Moor
South Derby Growth Zone is a large-scale strategic initiative to unlock land for major mixed developments along the A50 corridor, which connects the M1 and M6 motorways through South Derbyshire and to the south of Derby.
With £49.6m from the UK government’s Levelling Up Fund – the largest single allocation in the UK – a new junction on the A50 arterial route will open up new residential and commercial land.
Within the Growth Zone, Sinfin Moor offers 30 hectares of prime employment land and will create a significant extension to the commercial and technology park Infinity Park Derby, adjacent to Rolls-Royce’s global civil aerospace campus.
A number of global Original Equipment Manufacturers including Rolls-Royce, Alstom, JCB and Toyota UK are in close proximity to the site and, along with their supply chains, draw on the area’s strengths in traditional and innovative manufacturing, R&D and engineering.
Additionally, one of 14 new garden villages in England is planned. Infinity Garden Village is a proposed mixed development straddling South Derbyshire and Derby.
