The local infrastructure is currently such that it could not support the scale of the proposed development. For example, roads are already inadequate for the number of vehicles accessing Badersfield (residents, prison and Scottow Enterprise Park, with the likelihood that the number of users of the latter will grow in the future). School places are in short supply (September 2017 saw in excess of 30 children from Badersfield alone needing Reception places - the catchment school, Buxton Primary School, serves Badersfield and several other villages/hamlets) and could not accommodate all these children. The proposal for the development cites that there are services in Badersfield but the roads in Badersfield are not adopted, residents pay a service charge for their upkeep, the landscaped areas and lighting etc. Residents of 720 homes would have a significant impact on these without financially contributing to them.
