Here is what BBC is reporting

"A major redevelopment could see hundreds of homes built on a Derby Rolls-Royce site where aeroplane engines were made for both world wars.

Developers displayed plans for 380 flats and houses for the Nightingale Road factory, which has been derelict for six years.

The early 20th Century marble hall at the front remains, but the factory behind was demolished.

Developers hope to renovate the hall and incorporate it in the development."
