Following their review of parliamentary representation, the Boundary Commission for England created this seat for the 2010 general election. Neighbouring constituencies had consequential boundary changes, with Erewash and Amber Valley the most affected.
The constituency was made up of the following electoral wards:
- Belper Central; Belper East; Belper North; Belper South; Duffield, part of the borough of Amber Valley
- Allestree, Oakwood and Spondon, part of the City of Derby
- Little Eaton and Breadsall; Ockbrook and Borrowash; Stanley; West Hallam and Dale Abbey, part of the borough of Erewash1
1 Further to a local government boundary review in Erewash which became effective in May 2015,{{Cite web |last=LGBCE |title=Erewash {{!}} LGBCE |url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/erewash |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=www.lgbce.org.uk |language=en}} the Stanley ward was merged into Little Eaton and Breadsall which was renamed Little Eaton and Stanley.
