Why only a proposal for a possible Speedway site. Why not build the Speedway Stadium first, then do the landscaping and play areas, finally build the homes.

19/06/2026 I am writing on behalf of Brandon Estates to update you on our revised plans for the redevelopment of Brandon Stadium, located between Brandon and Binley Woods. As a neighbour to the site, we want to ensure you are fully informed about the proposals and have the opportunity to share any views or questions. Our vision is to transform the stadium site into a family-friendly residential neighbourhood with high-quality landscaping and screening to protect local amenity. The plans also include new public open spaces and the creation of a speedway track, providing opportunities for leisure and recreation. The stadium has been closed since 2016, following the end of speedway racing. Since then, the site has deteriorated significantly, and speedway cannot return without major investment. Our aim is to secure a positive, sustainable future for the site-one that respects its heritage while addressing current local needs. Our outline proposals include new homes, landscaping, parking for residents and visitors, and the potential for a speedway track. Outline planning consent would establish the principle of development, with further detailed proposals to follow if consent is granted. Given the site's proximity to many local homes, we are keen to speak with residents and hear any comments or questions you may have. Your feedback is important to us as we shape plans that bring benefits to the wider community. Our proposals include: · Up to 104 new homes in a mix of sizes and tenures, including 20% affordable homes to help meet local housing needs. · A new purpose-built speedway track capable of hosting racing in a controlled and managed environment. · Onsite parking designed to meet the needs of both residents and speedway spectators. · New tree and hedgerow planting to deliver biodiversity net gain and integrate the development sensitively within the landscape. · A new local park and public open space for community use. hese proposals would transform the site into a welcoming residential neighbourhood, create ew public open spaces, provide opportunities for leisure and recreation, and support local bs. Ve are committed to long-term ownership and responsible maintenance of the site. Our pproach prioritises the coexistence of existing residents, future residents, and a speedway ack, ensuring everyday life can continue without unnecessary disruption.
