Progress report

Our proposals for the A38 Derby Junctions have now been accepted by the Planning Inspectorate on 21 May 2019 for formal examination. This is a significant milestone for our scheme, as it means we’ve taken a big step towards delivering the much-needed improvements on this stretch of road. You can view our planning application on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

Relevant Representations have now been received by the Planning Inspectorate regarding the A38 Derby Junctions scheme. You can view a list of all those registered to put their case on A38 Derby Junctions and their Relevant Representations.

What's next?

Over the next few months the Planning Inspectorate will make arrangements to carry out an examination of our application. This will be led by an examining authority made up of one or more examining inspectors. The Planning Inspectorate will then have 6 months to carry out the examination. You can find more information about this process on the Planning Inspectorate’s National Infrastructure Planning webpage.

The Preliminary Meeting will be held on the Tuesday 8 October 2019. Invitations to this meeting have been sent to Interested Parties. The Preliminary Meeting is held in public and concerns procedural matters only and not the merits of the application. It is not essential to attend the Preliminary Meeting.

Whether or not an interested party chooses to attend the Preliminary Meeting, they will still be sent details of how to further take part in the examination.

Why we need this scheme

The Kingsway, Markeaton and Little Eaton junctions on the A38 currently suffer from heavy congestion. We are making improvements to these junctions to relieve this congestion.

Aims

The aims of the scheme are to:

reduce congestion
increase capacity
improve journey time reliability
improve road safety
support local regeneration and development plans

Guidance for people whose property may be affected by one of our schemes

Large scale or major public works alongside or close to a property can reduce its value, making it hard to sell at market rate.
