STENSON AREA
Description
The area predominantly rural in character, but also includes suburban
development on the fringe of Derby at Sinfin. The A50 crosses the area to
the south of Sinfin, whilst the Birmingham-Derby passenger railway line
passes to the west and the Donington freight railway line passes from
west to east.
The Trent and Mersey Canal, a conservation area, also passes through
the area, the pub and marina at Stenson Bubble being a popular local
destination. A further conservation area has been designated at the
small village of Twyford. The southern boundary of the area is largely
defined by the River Trent.
The residential area at Sinfin is served by frequent bus services to Derby
City Centre and local shopping services and facilities are available at the
district centre, just within the city boundary. The main route into Derby is
Stenson Road, which experiences congestion at peak times, particularly
at the signal-controlled railway bridge. On the fringe of Sinfin, a new
strategic housing development is currently under construction.

ASTON AREA
Overview
The area has a predominantly rural feel to it though the area does adjoin
Derby City along its northern boundary. The A50 trunk road crosses the
area from east to west, with a spur heading northwards toward the A6 and
A52. The southern boundary of the area is defined by the River Trent and
much of the area around the Trent is susceptible to flooding. A large
proportion of the north east part of the area forms the southern boundary
of the Nottingham-Derby Green Belt. The area contains the key village of
Shardlow and a number of other small settlements.
Aston area contains various heritage assets including conservation areas at
Shardlow, Aston-on-Trent, Barrow-on-Trent and along the length of the Trent
and Mersey Canal. The route of the former Derby Canal, now a local
wildlife site, extends northwards from Swarkestone into the city. There are
also historic parks and gardens at Swarkestone and Elvaston. Swarkestone
Causeway, which extends southwards across the Trent floodplain,
represents a scheduled Ancient Monument and follows an alignment not
suited to the volume and mix of traffic using it. A proposal to address this
issue is included on a list of potential schemes for further assessment in the
Derbyshire Local Transport Plan.
The area is within reach of business and industrial areas in Derby City and
within Leicestershire, such as East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands
Distribution Centre. To a large extent, the area is reliant on retail and other
services and facilities in Derby and other settlements outside the area.
National Cycle Route 6 passes through the area, connecting to the
network of cycle routes within Derby City.

MELBOURNE AREA
Overview
The area is rural in character, containing the Key Service Village of
Melbourne and a number of smaller settlements. It contains many
heritage assets including numerous listed buildings, conservation areas at
Melbourne and Stanton by Bridge and a historic park and garden at
Melbourne Hall. The area lies partly within the National Forest and also
contains the Staunton Harold Reservoir.
Melbourne contains the second most important shopping centre in the
district and a small industrial estate. The area is also attractive to tourists.
Close by, but beyond the South Derbyshire boundary, lays the important
employment sites of East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands
Distribution Centre.
The A514 connects Melbourne to Derby via the Swarkestone Causeway,
a scheduled Ancient Monument that follows an alignment not suited to
the volume and mix of traffic using it. Options have been considered for
the development of an alternative route and the Derbyshire Local
Transport Plan includes the proposal on a list of potential major schemes
for further assessment. National Cycle Route 6 runs to the north east of
Melbourne connecting to Derby and rural Leicestershire.
