General New Stadium Plans - Stratfield Brake

[bicesterox]

Sorry to p*ss on your parade but this is an Oxford Fail story from 7th December 2017 - old news.

This one isn't Water Eaton

Whose assuming planning will be easy and foundations will be laid in the next few weeks?

It probably won't be a straightforward box-ticking exercise, but I think councils in general are quite bored of nimbyism and are quite happy to to overrule local worries if there's a big development deal to be done.

In sure this stadium relocation with its leisure facilities could bring a lot of money into the area, and also be a good employment opportunity for the residents of Kidlington once everything's built.

around *10 miles from the breeze block, Grenoble road to sports ground,Stratfield break, apparently

* edited

That should be enough to land us in the Northern section of the cup competitions!

Just put sustainable, carbon neutral and no car provisions on the planning and it will be approved

If we are providing sports facilities to teams thar play there currently could that mean these facilities could be used by the university's freeing up land like the iffley Road complex?

If this isn't real then somebody has gone to a lot of trouble. Link for cabinet meeting on Jan 18th in case anyones interested. Agenda looks like it will be posted the week before https://mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=115&MId=6384

I should imagine the big selling point for the council will be the chance to put housing on the current grounds site, already a residential area so it will be easy to get through.

Classic council "consultation" timeframe when the brown envelopes have already been delivered.
"Well we invited you to a Teams meeting with a weeks notice, sorry you couldn`t make it but we decided that.................."

I guess its how it works when the power players move in - Mrs Smith and her Great Crested Newts just get steamrollered..... capitalism at its finest.

Disappointed EY ( I know you want to stay at the Kassam) !!

Only 5 miles from The Manor though, that’s our spiritual home anyway.

Exactly, what's all this distance from Grenoble Rd B*****s. Who cares!

 

[York-Yellow]

For a sense of scale - this is ~45 acres on that site. Equivalent of ~25 football pitches.

This is a possibility but the question was more to do with Bazzer's comment about people on here and implication of foundations being laid soon.

How big is the ozone, kassam site?

 

[Bornyellow]

Can anyone compare 45 acres to the current stadium footprint.

Only cycles will be the approved transport to enter Stratfield Break

Or swimming, it floods something chronic down there.

0.6 miles from Oxford Parkway to Stratfield Brake which Google Maps says is a 12 minute walk as thingsare now.

A crossing/footpath across the land on the left of the Banbury Road (or Oxford Road as its show there) would reduce that.

PCR drive in at/ in the vicinity of Oxford Parkway? .... about half mile or so away from that

 

[behindthegoal]

I thought back in '98....the old silo site would be ideal, this site is a stones throw away
