Livestream is on the councils YouTube. They didn’t start the part two (ground inc the speedway area) until half five-ish.
The plan for 850 homes was approved with conditions mainly concerning highways.
The second plan included the speedway area, for a further 650 homes. That was refused.
have to be honest that while I was watching, I did think it was going the other way by what certain councillors were saying. The Chair though was big time against it. He mentioned how he remembered going to the shows and speedway as both child and adult and how they’ve been basically destroyed. (Can’t remember the words he used, but that’s what he meant) He also said that he’s seen so many people in Peterborough say how there’s nothing to do - his pointing out that the showground is a venue where lots was always going on.
They also said that the further 650 homes made this plot too big and They’d rather the homes be split across the wider city than all in one place.
The final vote went 4 for and 6 against.
