The site I was referring to is close to cradley heath but houses are literally 100yards from edge of land, the rocky lane site is perfect in every aspect but the council for whatever reason don’t seem keen to have it there, 3 other sites have potential but are 5 miles from cradley but one especially has a very major plus going for it but dealing with councils is a drag, it can be weeks/months be for you get a reply, we contacted entain about a track share to run wolves on a Monday and cradley on a Wednesday but they said not at this time(whatever that means) ? 

Deanno, what do we consider to be to close to houses ? surely BV is close to houses but it is something the council wanted so it was allowed, surely if something improves the area as a whole then it can be put forward for outline planning permission ?, discounting farmers fields i am aware of pretty much 99.9% of sites around Cradley Heath obviously their is no ideal site otherwise it would have been found by now, ideally a track share with Wolves would be ideal and if a site was big enough a track within a track could be the way to track share (the inside track for Wolves), The Lion Farm site just off Junction 2 of the M5 would have been ideal for a project such as that, but again the local council prefer to let the site become more and more run down before it eventually becomes uneconomic to repair and will be sold off to developers, in the meantime they refuse to lease the site and receive an annual rental income which could have been be reinvested.    

Not sure the size of track makes for good racing,, it's the room on entry and exits of the corners that make for good or bad racing.

Maybe they could get Foz on the nitro and Helium,, would make it a bit more interesting 

I'm impressed with what I have seen so far  400 mtr track should produce some good racing ,as has been said it will have to comply to get a license . Most of the work seems  fairy straight forward they have the infra instructor it  is more  adaption to co-exist with the stoxs  that needs  to be done ,there will be a cost but assume  that has been factored into the project .
