A38 - decision expected next year

Derby Telegraph reports on the delayed A38 project here and how it affects new housing over in Mickleover.

Chris Nash, a South Derbyshire District Council planning officer, said during a meeting this week that he had received a letter from Highways England updating the authority on the A38 improvement scheme.

He read the letter aloud, saying: “Due to the pandemic earlier in the year, the inquiry programme was delayed slightly and other matters have also taken precedence which means the Secretary of State’s intended decision on the examination of the development consent order is now not going to be next month, but it will be issued in January.”
