Nobblytriers 201 Posted October 18, 2016 What's going to happen with the homeowners and noise issues when/if the new track gets going, I cannot believe there will be no complaints about the noise! Surely, if someone moves into a house knowing that there is going to be a development nearby that's likely to cause a disturbance, they can't complain and win? If they, or their solicitors, don't carry out proper searches, how on earth can any residents start a petition asking for another development to be shut down? Crazy world we live in. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, and the council has approved everything anyway. They'd be ideal homes for a few Robins fans though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately either some courts do not take the view that the stadium was there first and the home buyer was aware of the noise when they moved in, or the stadium owners are not complying 100% with the planning permission re the level of noise, time curfews, or any other conditions set down.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 18, 2016 That's a good point. I can definitely see a strict curfew put in place if the new stadium is built. At kent they don't go one minute past cut off time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are wrong, if the Mildenhall case was anything to go by. People moved in close to stadium, complained and won. It's the 'nuisance' per se that is judged. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a strange day to start work on a new project (a Friday), but hopefully it will be the long awaited start it will be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I moved into my house opposite a school I knew the deal, for 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon it would be annoying but we would be at work, I'm now part time so in an afternoon it's a bit bonkers when it's home time. I knew this when I bought the house so how could I complain now, similar situation. The plus is at night and weekends it's great having nothing happening opposite so like the speedway it's quiet except when a meetings on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted October 19, 2016 Of course it does. It has been made clear by Government that there is a national shortage of houses. Get real! There's a national shortage of homes that anyone can afford - a rather different thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted October 19, 2016 The Mildenhall situation was not a dimple case of noise from speedway. Noise was going on until2 or 3 in the morning from the stadium, which is outside acceptable hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike.Butler 601 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) have I missed something? Why cannot the existing stadium be updated? Build a new main stand on back straight whilst continuing racing..? Edited October 19, 2016 by Mike.Butler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted October 19, 2016 have I missed something? Why cannot the existing stadium be updated? Build a new main stand on back straight whilst continuing racing..? Because there is more profit to be made from building houses on the land than running a greyhound/speedway stadium. The land around the existing stadium had a covenant designating it for employment use. It was originally owned by Motorola who also used to own the futuristic looking building next to the stadium. A consortium of Stadia UK and property developers bought the land and through clever lobbying and a promise to build a new stadium were able to get planning permission to build houses. Some argue that too much money had been spent on the stadium plans for it to be simply a ruse to get planning permission to build houses. Those more cynical think that investing a few hundred thousand in plans for a pretend new stadium in order to unlock tens of millions of pounds worth of housing developments is a good long term strategy. Those of us who live near the stadium will have noticed that the house building has progressed with gusto, while the stadium development is conspicuous by its absence. I guess only time will tell. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
