How busy will the new road be?
The traffic modelling that is currently being
undertaken with Derby City Council will provide
an estimate of the number of vehicles that will
use the diverted section of Victory Road when
the new T12 link road to the A50 is complete
and following the development of Infinity Park.
How will you reduce the effect of the
realigned road?
We are currently developing the design for the
new section of road, which will broadly follow
the route of the existing car park access from
Merrill Way. Our work includes the preparation
of air quality, lighting, noise, flood risk,
landscape and ecology studies, to identify the
potential affect that the proposed new section
of road could have on the local environment.
We are also working with Derby City Council to
carry out detailed traffic modelling. This will help
us produce a Transport Assessment that will
identify the potential impact of moving Victory
Road on traffic on other roads in the area and
the affect this could have on local people.
Timing
When can we expect work to start?
We have already started work to demolish
or improve buildings on our site which have
become redundant or not fit for purpose
and this will continue. If we obtain planning
permission from Derby City Council, we hope
that work to realign Victory Road will start in
2016 and work on the first new buildings on
site in 2017 or 2018.

Investing in the future
of Derby: our proposals
The transformation of our main Derby site
into a modern Aerospace Campus is a long
term project. The work will be undertaken in
phases and the timing of these will be subject
to achieving planning consent and paced by
affordability.
Current plans are for the first phase to
be completed in 2022. This is however
dependent on funding.
All of these studies will form part of our
planning application and will describe both our
assessment of the likely effects and the steps we
will take to reduce the impact of the new road.
What happens next?
This public engagement runs until Friday 30
January 2015. After this date we will review all
of the feedback before finalising our proposals.
We will report back on the main themes
identified during the engagement and how
these have been taken into consideration.
In March 2015 we will submit a planning
application to Derby City Council to seek
permission to move Victory Road and re-develop
our site to create a new Aerospace Campus.
Submitting this planning application is just
the first step in a long process of investing in
the Derby site to enable us to modernise our
facilities to help us continue to be competitive
and meet the needs of our customers.
Our plans are at an early stage in their
development and as they evolve we’ll share
more details with you and ask for your views.

The main Derby site
What’s proposed?
The Sinfin site in Derby is an important part
of our global business. However, some of the
buildings are around 100 years old and are no
longer fit for purpose, the site is split by Victory
Road and people are spread out making it
difficult to work efficiently.
our site and, together with Derby City Council,
ensure the local road network can cope with the
anticipated level of demand once T12 is open.
We need to invest in our site and modernise our
facilities to help us continue to be competitive
and meet the needs of our customers.
Our vision is to create a dynamic campus which
is a world class centre of excellence for large
engines. This will create a stimulating and
efficient working environment which enables
us to work more flexibly, fosters innovation and
attracts and retains the right people.
At the same time, the development of the T12
link road to the A50 is expected to bring more
traffic to Victory Road and the junction with
Moor Lane will come under further pressure.
So, we’re looking at ways we can improve
To make these changes we need to replace
some of the office buildings at the centre of our
site and move Victory Road to help improve the
anticipated traffic flow once T12 is open and so
it no longer cuts our site in two.
The Aerospace Campus
Moving Victory Road
Why are we doing this now?
Why move Victory Road?
The timing of these proposals has been
influenced by two things, the age of the
buildings on the site and the fact that the new
T12 link to the A50 is now progressing. The
combination of these two factors means that
now is the right time to take the opportunity to
invest in our site.
There are two reasons why we are proposing
to realign a section of Victory Road. Firstly,
the road currently splits our site in half making
it difficult for us to work efficiently. Secondly,
the development of the T12 link road to the
A50 is expected to bring more traffic to Victory
Road and the junction with Moor Lane will
come under further pressure.
What will the new Aerospace Campus
look like and what facilities will it
have?
Our plans for the campus are at an early stage
in their development. We therefore haven’t yet
defined the exact scope of the buildings and
facilities. As work on these plans progresses
over the coming months we’ll share more
details and seek your views.
Which buildings will be affected?
When?
We are proposing to replace some of the
buildings on A, C and D sites. We are also
planning to demolish some of the older
buildings on B site. This work will happen in
phases over the next 8 to 10 years.
In the longer term, perhaps 20 years or more,
buildings such as Moor Lane, Trent Hall and
Lombard Hall may come to the end of their
life. At this stage, the masterplan proposes
that they are replaced with new office
buildings.
Elton Road will be incorporated into the new
Innovation and Technology Centre while other
buildings on the site are generally unaffected,
but will benefit from being sited in a green
campus that will transform the working
environment and offer new facilities for staff.
What do these proposals mean to me
as an employee?
We’re at the start of a long and complex
process as we redefine what it means to work
for Rolls-Royce.
The creation of an Aerospace Campus will
provide a more agile working environment
which will allow us to work more efficiently and
promote the culture of innovation needed to
meet customer expectations.
Early design option showing how buildings could be arranged on a new campus
So we’re looking at was we can improve our
site and, together with Derby City Council,
ensure the local road network can cope with
the anticipated level of traffic once T12 is
open.
What is T12?
In 2013 Derby City Council gave permission
to build a link road - known as T12 - between
Holmleigh Way, near to the A50 in Chellaston,
and Wilmore Road in Sinfin, as a first
step to the development of a new hi-tech
business centre, known as the Derby Global
Technology Cluster.

At the end of last year the council started
work on a new road junction on Wilmore
Road that will also give access to the Infinity
Business Park.

Why have you chosen to move the road
next to people’s homes?
The proposed route has been identified as
the most suitable option as it generally follows
an existing road around the eastern boundary
of our site.
We recognise that the proposed route is
close to people’s homes and are undertaking
a number of specialist studies to identify how
we can reduce the impact of this. The results
from these studies will be incorporated into
the design of the road.
How many sports pitches will be lost to
make way for the road?
No sports pitches or facilities will be lost due
to the diversion of Victory Road. We are
currently developing the detailed design for the
road and the proposed route may mean that
one of the sports pitches needs to be moved
to an adjacent site that Rolls-Royce owns.
