Representation Summary:

Flooding contribution with rainwater coming down Aylsham Road and Stracey Road. School not big enough now, let alone with more demand. Alarmed at disproportionate 13,000 homes proposed for NE area off the NDR.

Not sure if this site slopes away towards the Bure Valley railway line but I'd be deeply unhappy if this adds to rainwater coming down Stracey Road and Aylsham Road - please see my concerns on the other Buxton sites causing flash and general flooding and damage to houses at stream level. And the issue of Buxton school not being able to take additional children has got to be a consideration. I also note looking at your plans on the map that the North East area - which looks like it includes Buxton and Lamas - has 13,000 homes proposed. This is clearly out of proportion with the far lesser volumes listed for other sites. Why is this? Not convinced the NDR is set up to cope with all the traffic this would produce. I recognise the need for housing but this is clearly disproportionate for this countryside area.
