Plans to build 4,500 new homes, 3.4 million sq ft of employment space, and support for 5,000 new jobs in Derby are set to take another step forward next week.
The South Derby Growth Zone is being planned for land to the south of the city between Sinfin and Chellaston.
The proposals have already received an offer of £49.6 million from the Levelling Up Fund, reliant on a full business case being submitted.
