How schemes in Buxton get decided.
Two councils involved
High Peak Borough Council decides the planning application, but Derbyshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Buxton
A spa town surrounded by the Peak District National Park, where several A roads meet and quarry lorries share the roads. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A6, A515, A53 and A54. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
