Tsunami 10,219 Posted February 16, 2015 I really hope that the condition is that the stadium must be complete before they sell the houses. We had a similar deal for a stadium near Edinburgh 10 years ago which stated that the stadium had to be started before they could sell houses. 10 years later, all the houses are sold and we have this of the stadium: Instead of this: Wow. Where was that going to be built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryW 1,178 Posted February 16, 2015 Wow. Where was that going to be built.That was planned for Wallyford, just to the East of Edinburgh. There is still some talk that it might finally get built but after all this time it seems unlikely... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember the later one, which was to build within, was it ScotWastes, factory area. Hope it comes back as being viable, cos that looks a terrific design.

pvm 116 Posted February 17, 2015 The new Stadium at Swindon is scheduled to be built before the 2016 season. They have recently started building the houses and the conditions are that the Stadium must be either started or completed before they sell 400 houses. So what happens if they stop building when the 399th house is complete. I've heard of that happening in the past, although it was only something to do with providing a playground or something similar, so something that means the 400th house is going to cost millions to the developer, it makes you wonder.

I would hope that a payment, part of the 106 agreement, is made to the council for each house built and not after they have built the 399th. Also they are not able to knock down the existing stadium to build on that area and the car park until the new one is built, so we would just continue in the old one.

FAST GATER 853 Posted February 18, 2015 I for one hope and believe this will happen and if the new track is any where near as good as H/Road we are in for a real treat I see no reason why it will not happen from what i have read.Everyone seems on board and the cost of the stadium will be a fraction of the profits achieved by the housing and it is a condition of planning is it not.

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted February 21, 2015 LATEST from Belle Vue ... The build effort of the National Speedway Stadium has already crossed the one-month mark and nearly all of the initial earth works have been completed. Thursday saw the arrival of the mammoth pile driver that, next week, will get to work on the initial stages of the foundations of the Main Grandstand. Deep excavations are set to commence on Monday while ground preparation of the South Stand, which features the state-of-the-art acoustic barrier, will also begin. And astroturf from the former hockey pitches has started to be removed from the site, but since ISG are such firm believers in recycling it will be sent to one of the local Cricket Clubs in Manchester. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
