Derby City Councillors are being asked to approve formal collaboration with Derbyshire County Council, South Derbyshire District Council and other key partners to deliver a major road scheme .
In October 2021, Derbyshire County Council was awarded £49.6 million "in principle" from the Government's Levelling Up Fund to build a new A50 junction and link road, off the A50 which will serve Infinity Park Derby and the Wragley Way housing development within the city.
Planning consent for the A50 junction and link road was secured in April 2021.
To secure the funding, however, the County Council will need to finalise and submit the business case, working in partnership with the City Council and South Derbyshire District Council.
The work will be led by City Council's Strategic Director of Communities and Place.
The junction would be built where the A50 crosses Deep Dale Lane and the link road would run up to the Infinity Park, close to the iHub.
It is part of a major scheme to build up to 4,500 new homes and create 5,000 new jobs between the A50 and Derby – forming the proposed Infinity Garden Village, one of 14 new Garden Villages announced by Government in January 2017 and the southern extension to Infinity Park Derby, Derby’s flagship regeneration project.
Garden villages are expected to be built to a high quality, be attractive and well designed, and be built as a response to meeting local housing needs - especially for first-time buyers.
Paul Simpson, chief executive of Derby City Council said: "The new A50 junction and link road to Infinity Park Way is a key piece of infrastructure, which will unlock a substantial area of land to develop employment and housing proposed as part of planned strategic growth south of Derby.
"This investment is important in stimulating the overall economic growth of the area, which is more critical as we begin to recover from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic."
