Our main Derby site Investing in our future 2 Rolls-Royce is a global business, employing over 55,000 people and supplying customers across the world. In recent years we have invested in a number of our sites across the world. These investments help us meet our customers’ expectations for world-class power system design and manufacturing. We need to invest in our main Derby site so it can continue to be competitive in today’s globalised world. We have been based in Derby since 1906 and are a major employer in the city. Our activities make a significant contribution to the local economy.

Mo or Lan e 1 ore 2 Ro ad 1 5 At the same time, proposed developments outside of our site will bring more traffic to the Victory Road/Moor Lane junction. So, we’re looking at ways 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. M 3 ad 4 3 Old buildings on the current site Victory Road currently splits the site in two Ro The site is split by Victory Road and our people are spread out, making it difficult to work efficiently. KEY Sinfin Lane The Sinfin site in Derby is an important part of our global business. However, some of the buildings on our main Derby site are around 100 years old and no longer fit for purpose.

A new campus-style facility will create a positive and inspiring environment for everyone and help us continue to recruit and retain the right people. Moving Victory Road will help us improve our site and ensure the local road network can cope with the anticipated level of traffic once T12 is open.

We are proposing to move Victory Road so it would run around the north-eastern edge of our site from Merrill Way to Moor Lane (shown in green on the plan opposite). New junctions will be created on Merrill Way and Moor Lane to improve safety and the way that traffic flows. Once moved, Victory Road will include a new footway/cycleway and new crossing points to provide better access to the main Derby site. The current section of Victory Road which runs between Moor Lane and Merrill Way will become part of the Rolls-Royce site (shown in red on the plan opposite). 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. 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. Key Existing Victory Road becomes private road within site a W ll i M e rr y Realigned Victory Road Existing roads which will be removed New connection onto realigned Victory Road Proposed realignment of Victory Road Next steps This public engagement runs until Friday 30 January 2015. After that we will look at all of the feedback before finalising our proposals. We will then submit a planning application to Derby City Council, including: Employee and community engagement Consideration of feedback and finalisation of proposals Report back to employees and community on the main themes identified during the engagement and how we have taken these into consideration • detailed plans for permission to move Victory Road; and Submission of planning application to DCC – detailed application for realignment of road – outline for campus facilities • outline plans for the changes we would like to make to our site to create the new campus. Consideration and determination of application by DCC Detailed design and approval of realignment of Victory Road Submitting this planning application is just the first step in a long process of investing in our 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.
