Oxford United has confirmed that the Cherwell District Council committee meeting to determine the Club’s new stadium planning application will take place on Thursday 14 August.
The report by Cherwell’s Planning Team, which was published earlier this week and will be reviewed at Planning Committee, is recommending that Councillors approve the 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.”
