You have to leave your details but they won’t publish your name. Have a look through the objections placed you will get the gist.

It’s over 500 now and still on an upward trajectory. I’m told this number of objections is unusually high for planning applications in Peterborough, which isn’t a surprise given the actual difficulty of negotiating the planning portal.

There’s two planning applications, a total of almost 450 objections submitted and of those in favour I think 2 are user error.

The developers could do themselves a huge favour and get some good PR if they allowed the Speedway to stay in situ for 3 years and give the club a proper amount of time to relocate which of course if you read the local plan the developers should pay for. They could also do themselves an even bigger favour by changing their plans to incorporate the Speedway track and Grandstand. A brick will not get laid on the site for at least 5 years. The developers are currently getting pelters from every angle, there isn’t any positivity from anywhere about this development, surely they weren’t naive enough to think this development wouldn’t become a problem, a problem that gets bigger with every passing day,? Perhaps they were naive, they haven’t exactly got a track record of developing a site of the magnitude of the Showground. I can only see difficult days ahead for AEPG.

Oh yes.

Any Leicester or Peterborough supporters not attending this meeting or watching on BSN can listen to live commentary on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, this is available also on BBC Sounds.

A big massive THANK YOU to all Speedway Supporters across the U.K. who have taken time out to put comments and/or objections to the development proposals of the East of England Showground that will ultimately see the end of Peterborough Speedway, you are top people and clearly love your sport! However we need more comments, we need a ground swell of support from anyone, anywhere. Already the number of comments/objections has raised eyebrows, please if you can, leave your comments. Here’s how to do it: Search Google ‘Peterborough City Council Planning Applications’ Search the planning register ‘Showground’ You will see the two applications references are: 23/00400/OUT and 23/00412OUT click on either and/or both Click on documents Click on associated documents You will then see the comments/objections that have been already left there are 25 to a page.

They caused a stir alright. AEPG are clearly rattled and thought these applications were going to be waved through. They need to get in a room with the current owner, future potential owners, the CEO of EoEAS and the council. AEPG could also do themselves a favour by holding a public meeting and this time not cuss and swear at the attendees.

To all supporters not able to get to this meeting or watch it on BSN, live commentary is available on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, for those outside the broadcast area, you can pick this up on BBC Sounds. As an added bonus, I am the summariser on the radio broadcast tonight.

Feel free to let anyone know they can object!

Every sentence he speaks should end with: ‘and make me very rich’

I particularly enjoyed his terminology of ‘competitive socialising’ I mean wtaf of a bullrubbish phrase is that. The bloke, as I have said from day one, is a chancer and fantasist.

I have been invited on to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire at 8:00am on Thursday 31st August (tomorrow) to discuss the Showground development.

It’s therapy mate, I want to keep you busy.

Off you go then!

There are two parts to the planning application. The documents to the two parts are here: https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications//search.do?action=simple&searchType=Application Search keyword ‘Showground’ You will see the recently published two applications. You can submit your objections or comments for the first part here: https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RSOMJ0MLIWV00 You can submit your objections or comments for the second part here: https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RSXWVDML04U00 The planning portal is not the easiest to navigate, but it is important that Speedway supporters overcome this, read the documents and note that there is no provision for Peterborough Speedway in the planning application, in contravention of the City Councils Local Plan and specifically policy LP30. You can find the adopted Peterborough Local Plan here https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/council/planning-and-development/planning-policies/local-development-plan The section on the Showground and specifically local policies LP30 and LP36 are very relevant. This is a legal document, if this is not adhered to, what is the point of going to the trouble and expense of producing such a document? Objections and or comments are welcomed from supporters of all clubs from the U.K. and around the world. The Peterborough City Council need to know and understand the 53 year heritage of Peterborough Panthers.

There is no acknowledgement of the policy LP30 in the Peterborough Local Plan. The policy is detailed somewhere in this thread, if not Crump99 would you mind putting it on here, as I’m in the middle of moving house!

That is exactly what is required. We need as many people to submit objections, there’s been about a dozen so far. Anyone can object. Speedway fans around the world can object.

SHOWGROUND DEVELOPMENT. At last, the council has published AEPG's planning applications (there are two) to develop the showground. You can read and comment on the plans on the council's planning portal at https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/council/planning-and-development/planning-and-building/search-applications references 23/00400/OUT and 23/00412/OUT Note these are 'outline' applications so do not contain all the detail. That will follow in future applications. The council's outline application consultation is now open for 30 days.
