Rolls-Royce is planning a new manufacturing services building at its Sinfin A site in Derby as part of ongoing efforts to modernise its infrastructure.
The proposed two-storey structure would cover approximately 3,000 square metres and include manufacturing areas, offices, and welfare facilities such as a canteen and toilets. The design features a sloped roof up to 12.6 metres high, fitted with solar panels and rooflights to improve energy efficiency.
According to documents submitted to Derby City Council, the project aims to replace older infrastructure and improve operational performance across the site. Construction is expected to take around ten months, with no changes proposed to existing site access.
Rolls-Royce has asked the council to determine whether an environmental impact assessment is necessary before submitting a full planning application. A decision on that request is anticipated by early November.
The development would further strengthen Rolls-Royce’s long-term investment in its Derby operations, where it continues to upgrade facilities to meet modern health, safety, and environmental standards.
