Planning Application Approval
Your committee is pleased to let you know that the planning application for the extension of the club made in January this year has been approved by Oxford City Council.
Over the coming weeks the committee will be reviewing the options that are now available. No immediate decision will be made since we had already decided that such a building project could only be attempted in the summer months and it is not feasible to schedule this for 2012. We will take the opportunity to review as well the possibilities for relocation and examine further the financial parameters of the project.
All the documents and plans are available for you to peruse on the website – the outline plan shows that the approval is for a layout very similar to Option E that was favoured at the EGM in July 2011. A file copy of documents will also be available at the club for anyone to look at on paper.
The committee will be providing a full update on the situation at the AGM in May. Be sure to keep Wednesday 23rd May at 6.00pm reserved in your diary. In the meantime if you have comments or questions, please talk to a committee member or leave feedback here.
