Rolls-Royce has drawn up plans for up to 200,000 sq ft of new manufacturing and office space in Derby.
The engineering giant wants to replace the Southwing office building at its Raynesway site on the east of the city, where it designs and builds reactors that power the UK’s nuclear submarines. It said the space was no longer fit for purpose and it wants to replace it with two new buildings.
In planning documents it said new space would ensure the submarine business was in a position to meet the demands of its Ministry of Defence contracts. The redevelopment could create an extra 30 manufacturing jobs, it said, and provide new accommodation for 450 existing office staff.
