Overall I think this is the least disruptive site for Buxton, it is necessary to ensure that social housing allocation is adhered to, ensuring that local people can have access to affordable housing and young people from the village have an opportunity to settle if they would like to do so. The following conditions would need to be considered for any development, 1) extention of the speed limit, 2) footpath access (good enough for pram and bikes) and improvement to connect the development via to the bure valley car park, to the school so that traffic and parking impact of extra families attending the school is minimised, 3) trees and hedgerows that would be need to be removed are replaced to ensure there is a buffer between the new and old developments and the agricultural land, 4) allotments are included as a design feature to ensure there is sufficient green infrastructure buffer between the old development and new development. 5) vehicular access only by Aylsham road, but cycle and footpaths to link to the school and bure valley path as well as foot path access to Bally park (crossing feature to ensure community have safe access to Bally park)
