Aces51 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just looked at those pics. Can't believe they got planning permission that close to housing. The land adjoins the existing stadium so it was not the same as applying for planning at a site with no history of motor sport and stock cars will be continuing at the old stadium. Also, it is a council project. There is a going to be a sound barrier between the track and the houses closest to the track so the noise level should be less than they suffer at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very sensible precaution. It at least shows that Speedway is trying to be a good neighbour. :approve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 yes, its scb homologated - awaiting FIM approval.. A Dorset spokesperson said it had been a drain on his time but well worth the effort and planning ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) yes, its scb homologated - awaiting FIM approval.. A Dorset spokesperson said it had been a drain on his time but well worth the effort and planning ahead. Two systems are already approved. The Poole Mark 1, which cuts off the water supply to the showers but can only be used in play off finals and then only if Poole lose and the Poole Mark 2, which floods only a short section of the inside line and is approved for use anytime Poole wish to call off a match. To be fair I should also mention that the Belle Vue Mark 1 system, which floods the whole track and makes racing dangerous failed to get approval when it was realised that the Poole we need the points to get to the Play offs and Belle Vue have a weakened team card overruled everything else.

Tsunami Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just looked at those pics. Can't believe they got planning permission that close to housing. Must admit I thought exactly that. Given that it is part of a greater sports complex, neighbours possible accept it as a great facility for their area. Pity more don't see it the same way.

The BV promotion may opt for the new hightech 'Autoburst' system. When a rider misses a flight the waterpipe automatically bursts, flooding the track.

bellevueace Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Theres no doubt this has been a very long drawn out process which these dealings with local councils tend to be, what i dont understand is we have had many many negative posters over the years stating this would not happen, strangely the same naysayers have been quiet as regards to swindons propsed new stadium of which we have heard nothing in what seems an eternity, was this just an anti BV thing or are we going to have all the negativity now switching to swindon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was one who stated he thought the new BV would not happen and I was wrong, and very happy to have been proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other new project has promised to deliver the National Stadium holding major events in an unrealistic time frame. I'll praise it if and when it's praiseworthy on completion.
