Had a look what they said via the councils website as i couldn't open the link ,

Paragraph 62 of there objection was strange saying the fence and track could easily be restored ,then saying the start finish line and refs box could be repositioned, but then the strange statement of saying the Grandstand wasnt required/needed.

Those links do seem to have a mind of their own so direct to PCC planning is possibly the best option.

Yes I'm sure that anyone who read that would be somewhat alarmed, but in my opinion it just takes the stand out of the equation during negotiations in that speedway could be restored without it, although clearly from a supporters standpoint, especially historically for Peterborough, no stand would be an issue.

If my memory serves me right, the "AEPG reports said" that to return the stand to working order (before they further vandalised it) would cost about £375,000 although a recommended full 2 year rebuild would cost £4m.

I think that the consortium can comfortably achieve restoring the track etc relatively quickly (not the fantasy 5 years given by PCC in the ACV refusal) so best not to confuse the issue at this time.

If it comes down to an S106 Agreement for the like for like replacement then we can start at AEPG's own figure of £4m+

The Peterborough Speedway Consortium Objection to the proposed development of the Showground by AEPG is now available to read on PCC planning portal. Our objection was submitted on the 4th October 2024, but due to unforeseen administration issues within the planning department, they have only been published today.

Here’s the link: http://plandocs.peterborough.gov.uk/PublicDocuments/01352746.pdf

The Officer reports are now available on line. 

Hugely disappointing to note that they have recommended approval of the applications, despite acknowledging that the applications do not comply with parts of the Local Plan. 

I hope Councilors see through this, and I hope those speaking against the applications can strongly make the points for refusal.

It's actually quite mind boggling that the planning department and case officer thought that they could take this forward given that AEPG have failed on every metric within the NPPF & Peterborough Local Plan. I kept reading agenda pack thinking that Butterfield & co must have given their eviction of Peterborough Speedway some thought and consideration at some point? He and they clearly never did but now they have their self imposed timeline to meet & the EEAS whining (read the planning portal comments) about wanting their money. They have to throw the dice now and can't undo their incompetence. I'm sure that the Peterborough City Council Planning and Environmental Protection Committee are looking forward to looking at and justifying a decision on this mess?

Rugby planning officers  recommended approval of the Brandon estates plans before the Council rejected them.

Would have been a good idea to get a rider & bike or two. Are they doing that?
