Derby City Council has partnered with leisure developer Alliance Leisure to build a grass roots football hub on the Derby Racecourse site.
The council has submitted a planning application with the leisure development specialist to add three full-sized, floodlit 3G pitches alongside the existing 3G, for the Derby Junior Football League and the Derbyshire Girls and Ladies League. It would allow the site to host more than 250 matches a weekend.
The plans also include another 200 car park spaces and improving access to help traffic movement around the local neighbourhood. There would also be a café space and flexible community spaces.
