THE Planning Inquiry hearing into Brandon Stadium gets underway on Tuesday September 19.
This follows on from the decision of Rugby Borough Council's Planning Committee last November, in which they unanimously refused the Brandon Estates planning application.
The developers then appealed that decision, and the inquiry will now take place over an 8-day period featuring speakers and witnesses from all parties.
There will be representatives from Brandon Estates, the Council (as they defend their decision to refuse the application) and from the Save Coventry Speedway & Stox Campaign Group as a Rule 6 party.
We will be providing witnesses from both speedway and stock car racing to give evidence on our behalf, and they will also be subject to cross-examination.
The process will be detailed and will cover a wide range of topics, and a final decision is not expected until several weeks after the inquiry.
However, the proceedings can all be followed via a livestream and we are sure many supporters will wish to make use of this facility.
The link for the session on Tuesday September 19 (from 10am) is as below, and subsequent days' streams will be available from the Rugby Borough Council YouTube channel.
We believe we have prepared thoroughly for this vital inquiry, and we look forward to hearing the evidence from all sides and having the opportunity to state our case in support of the Planning Committee’s original decision.
