It says:
"Match day traffic must not create delays and obstructions to the highway network which could have a knock-on impact on the wider strategic road network – I.E. the A34. Traffic queuing to leave the A34 due to congestion on local roads surrounding is a worst case scenario that cannot be allowed to happen. Queues off the A34 MUST be avoided at all cost"
"BTP Have concerns that the car parking at Parkway Station is not of sufficient capacity to support additional parking for a stadium, they also have concerns that the Parkway station itself is quite small in terms of capacity for passengers, it may become difficult to manage people through."
"Traffic management colleagues have significant concerns with the roads surrounding the proposed development, and how they will safely accommodate large amounts of foot traffic. The A4165 Oxford Road for example, is not of sufficient width to safely accommodate the potential amount of foot traffic that will be generated, combined with vehicles and cycles that already use this road.ï‚· They are unable to see how the route will be able to function safely, without a very significant amount of alterations to improve the road network. There is currently no separation between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, in what will become a very crowded place at times.ï‚· Considering the volumes of pedestrians the A4165 footpath may need to handle, they are very narrow leading to the danger of pedestrians entering the carriageway."
"Kidlington already has a fragile road network that is badly affected when there are issues on the surrounding road network, such as the A40 and A34. The applicant must consider what additional impact this development would have on existing road networks, and what measures would need to be in place to mitigate against additional disruption. We do have concerns that the existing infrastructure is not sufficient to support the addition of the stadium, and improvements will need to be made"
"The impending protect duty must be considered at this stage – we don’t know the full extent of what this legislation will require but there will be a lot more onus on the stadium owners and operators, and the local authority to manage and hold risk. What measures will be taken to protect the development and its users from terrorism, both on match days and during normal community use?"
"All counter terrorism measures should be designed in from the start – it is difficult and extremely expensive to add them later."
"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities at the existing Kassam stadium, and it is extremely important that these are not transferred across to the new stadium."
"Football fans will move as they want to, and will not follow signposted routes. One route in and out of the site would not be ideal, and robust segregation plans for home and away fans should be in place to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour/disorder"
