Roads around the site are now being discussed – a key consideration as many objections centre around traffic concerns.
Principal planning officer Laura Bell says key routes around the site will see “increased pressure” from proposed development and other strategic sites.
Oxford Road is expected to be temporarily closed – for 35 minutes pre and post match – for the safety of its supporters.
The proposals for dealing with traffic issues include:
Enhancing public transport
Prioritising active travel with new cycle lanes, footways and crossings
Variable Message Signs and crowd management
The highways authority (Oxfordshire County Council) says there will be an impact, but it could not be considered “severe”, in part because it’s out of network peak hours and for a relatively short period of time.
Ms Bell tells the meeting that, therefore, the local highways authority and National Highways do not object.
