Oxford United can confirm that the Cherwell District Council committee meeting to determine our new stadium planning application will take place on Thursday 14 August.
The report by Cherwell’s Planning Team, which was published today and will be reviewed at Planning Committee, is recommending that Councillors approve our plans.
If the Planning Committee agree with the recommendations of the report, the application will then be referred to the Secretary of State – a standard procedure for an application of this scale.
Jonathon Clarke, Development Director at Oxford United, said: “This is a significant and positive step towards our goal of building a world-class venue that safeguards the Club’s future.
“We now have confirmation of when the Planning Committee will meet and look forward to them hopefully endorsing the positive recommendation made by their professional officers.”
