The White Knight 9,039 Posted November 17, 2015 Unless it is listed, then it is not usually necessary for planning permission to knock down a building. The planning permission is only needed to rebuild and with a derelict eyesore of a piece of land is often granted. Long Eaton/Dudley Wood etc Do you not find it worrying, that no Planning Permission for the new Stadium has yet been submitted. I know I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,141 Posted November 17, 2015 With Doyle signing for Swindon, and Rroscoe having half a team in place, surely someone must know Swindon going to race in 2016. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 17, 2015 Do you not find it worrying, that no Planning Permission for the new Stadium has yet been submitted. I know I do. Outline planning permission has been submitted and accepted, but detailed planning permission is held up due to two issues that need to be resolved. One is a drainage issue and the second is a noise abatement method, the answers to these need to be submitted to the council before agreement to build can start. As has been mentioned earlier the likely timescale is that these issues that should have been sorted ages ago could now go before a planning meeting in early 2016.

damosuzuki 696 Posted November 17, 2015 Shambolic, then. Noise abatement is a joke, but should have been sorted out ages ago. A speedway stadium only operates for a few hours a week anyway. I had thought with Doyle signing this thread would have been full of good news. Surely to goodness Swindon haven't let themselves be hoodwinked? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E2R 1 Posted November 17, 2015 I believe Terry Russell is a very smart businessman who knows how to make money from speedway. He will be under no illusion about the alleged "bandits" he is dealing with over the new Swindon stadium. He was fully aware of the lengthy Reading debacle. Having an "End of Abbey stadium" event was a great opportunity to make "loads of dosh" even if it wasn't really the end. Tragically, local authority employees are amateurs compared to the "New Stadium" management so I have great fears that Swindon's new stadium will not happen. I hope that I'm wrong.

Surely to goodness Swindon haven't let themselves be hoodwinked? Agree entirely! The whole Swindon Stadium scenario has been a public relations shambles! Having declared an 'End of Abbey Stadium' meeting without knowing what the future holds just smacks of incompetence and a lack of foresight (whoever is to blame) One can only hope that the people of Swindon have the opportunity to continue following speedway (however it seems very unlikely, at present, at a new stadium in the forceable future) and that it doesn't go the same way as Oxford and Reading!

But if the stadium had closed without a "End" meeting, fans would have been similarly outraged that the Abbey Stadium had closed without a suitable closure meeting that you all wanted. Damned if you do, or damned if you don't. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't need to. I will speak as i find/know without an agenda, unlike you and your mates. You wouldn't recognise something good that the BSPA did, even it was wrapped in shale and hit you square between the eyes. Keep going with the Jokes thought.
