By convincing them speedway isn't viable.

Planning permission is not dependent on ownership.

He could get planning permission (in theory), but couldn't then implement it without acquiring some form of ownership.

You could add and also wanting BE to build on Brandon stadium. To allow someone to be in partnership with a guy who has such an open negative agenda against anything related to speedway is a reason in itself to have zero faith in the BSPL.

Yes, I mentioned earlier in the thread about Osbourne & the smarmy Gareth Hooper. Both trashed the sport & said it wasn't viable at the inquiry. Irony anyone?

Russell didn't look particularly healthy when I saw a picture of him a few months ago either using a walking stick.

You have pretty irrefutable evidence of a stitch up but the BSPL won't do a thing. 

Same at Peterborough where Chapman has no intention of doing anything to save the club but gets to hold onto the licence.

thats correct arnieg re planning applications,tho he wouldnt have to "aquire some form of ownership"would just need to "aquire"  an arrangement or agreement with the freeholder and a developer(who would provide funds) No risk no work for osborne!!

One Big Joke....You dont have to be Inspector morse to figure out that should not fit the planning regs as it stands.Should have never been allowed to start the build in the first place.

Reading what’s going on with Torquay United and the money Osborne has admitted to pumping in. Makes you wonder when the “long term viability” and the need to move away will suddenly raise its head for Torquay. It starts to make sense that we should all join together in helping preserve current stadiums.

I get the feeling the Torquay councillor doesn’t believe a word Osborne is saying.

Sounds familiar, no one knows where he plans to build anything.

I understand he pumped a load of money into the Reading project which included a scale model of his proposed new racino. It cost in excess of £50K & that was over 15 years ago.

I have no doubt that it would have been an investors money that paid for it.

Interesting to note that the section 106 agreement documents are showing as blank on planning portal.       
These contain the important milestones regarding stadium and housing build so cannot see who’s telling the truth.

Thanks for that(didn’t like for obvious reasons)where did you find them ?.I looked at the 106 but it was 96 blank pages.all I could find was this that was suggested before the decision.

Summary of Recommendation:

That the Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage be authorised to APPROVE the reserved matters, subject to the conditions set out in the report (together with any amended, omitted or additional conditions) upon the completion of a Section 106 obligation to mitigate the impact of the development and to ensure the satisfactory completion of the stadium development and the other strategic infrastructure, including the open space and play areas and the construction of the necessary drainage infrastructure.

In the event that the applicant fails to enter into an agreement or fails to agree to an extension of time for the determination of the application to enable the Council as Local Planning Authority to deal with these matters, then the Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage be authorised to refuse the approval of reserved matters and;

The Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage, in consultation with the Head of Legal Services, be authorised to take planning enforcement action and other legal action regarding the breaches of the s106 planning obligation.

I suppose the stadium is "operational "because there is greyhound racing ,so it must be "substantialy" complete to do this, why there's no speedway is certainly bewildering
