I see no point in the club announcing anything at the moment there is nothing to see I fully expect the club to go big when the documents go live
 
Oxford United Submit Planning Application For New Stadium
Latest update on new stadium

Just now

Oxford United Football Club can announce it has submitted a full planning application to Cherwell District Council for its proposed new stadium.

The club has formally submitted an application, which is now awaiting validation, to build a new, modern, eco-friendly 16,000 capacity stadium on an area of land known as The Triangle, near Kidlington, as part of a mixed-use development.

The club can also confirm it will be undertaking a planning application process to build a bridge as part of the development plans to further enhance connectivity.


The proposal submitted presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to provide a new home for sport, entertainment, business, community, education and tourism which the whole county can be proud of. The design includes a 180-bed hotel, conference and event space, along with a health and wellbeing centre, to help deliver significant economic and social benefits to Oxfordshire.

The visitor experience, inclusivity and sustainability have been placed at the heart of the design. It would be the first all-electric stadium in the UK and includes a safe standing allocation, sensory room, 130 wheelchair spaces and wellbeing gardens.

United’s history would also be incorporated into design features, including a modern interpretation of the famous Manor Ground arch at the entrance.

Jon Clarke, Development Director at Oxford United, said: “Today is a significant milestone in our stadium development plans and for the future sustainability of the club.

“We have taken the opportunity to create something truly incredible that not only places the visitor experience at its heart but is sustainable and will deliver huge benefits to our community and economy.

“Submitting our full planning application further demonstrates the club’s commitment to delivering a new state-of-the-art landmark that will benefit the entire community.

“Our thanks go to our whole stadium project team who have worked tirelessly to submit this extensive planning application. We received a high volume of feedback during the public consultation and revised our plans based on some observations. This process helped ensure we got our application correct and, in light of the extensive response received, took slightly longer than anticipated.

“We look forward to continuing to share details of the plans and working closely with key stakeholders including Cherwell District Council and Oxfordshire County Council to bring our vision to reality.”

Submitting a full planning application comes after Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet gave principle consent to lease the triangle site to the club. Oxford United’s lease at the Kassam Stadium comes to an end in 2026.

But a bridge can't be done Chester told me 🤣
 
Planning permission being made also for the bridge then as well as the stadium. Great news. Well done to everyone involved in getting this far. Let’s get ready to push back against all the NIMBY’s & especially FOSB & associated members. Be respectful, but call out misinformation politely if needed. Personally think the opposition played their hand too soon & the club called their bluff with some instances, as to know what was needed to quieten the NIMBYS.

Full steam ahead.

Definitely called there bluff on the bridge the club took that out on purpose just to 1) P**s Ian off and 2) just to sit there and say we listened to the public
 
One of the more significant dates in the history of our club.

It’ll likely be one of the last if the stadium isn’t approved.

It’s a brilliant location with superb public transport links and a unique opportunity to create jobs, recreational, community and wellbeing spaces, help bring parity for women’s sport, improve biodiversity and create a development to make Oxfordshire proud.

Time for CDC to do something great for Kidlington and the region as a whole.
