00:03North Derbyshire planners have given the go-ahead for the ongoing Eggstow Park residential and
00:08commercial development at Clay Cross to be altered, with the introduction of more housing,
00:12the loss of employment land and the relocation of a leisure and recreation area.
00:17The Planning Committee of North East Derbyshire District Council approved St Modwin Homes
00:22proposed changes to four areas of land at the development, which is on the Bywater site,
00:27near Brasington Lane and Furness Hill Road north of Clay Cross.
00:31Eggstow Park was expected to deliver an estimated 669 dwellings in total,
00:37and the new changes will now mean an additional 106 homes.
00:41Approval of the proposed changes is also expected to create an opportunity to revisit and deliver
00:46a link road between the A61 and the A6175, according to the Council.
00:51Walton Peak Flying High Primary and Nursery Academy is celebrating its recent Ofsted inspection,
00:56which graded the school good in all areas.

01:06where everyone and every day matters.
01:09Parents and carers know staff go the extra mile to make sure that pupils feel valued and happy.
01:14Pupils want to come to school because, as one of them was eager to explain,
