Hillingdon Council has granted a three-year exclusivity agreement with Wealdstone Football Club so we can undertake exploratory investigations and apply for planning permission to create a new stadium and training facilities in the borough.<\/p>\n
Last night, (Thursday 13 March), the council’s Cabinet authorised the signing of the agreement in principle with the club which relates to two vacant plots of land – the first adjacent to the former Master Brewer site on Western Avenue and the second, Gutteridge Farm – so the club can further develop their proposals, secure funding and a development partner, and obtain the necessary planning consent.<\/p>\n
The council will receive a small annual fee for the land throughout the exclusivity agreement with the club.<\/p>\n
In November 2023, the council granted Wealdstone FC permission to undertake initial feasibility studies of the sites and committed to not pursue any other potential projects for an initial six-month period. This was extended by six months after the club evidenced it was progressing with the proposals.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cllr Jonathan Bianco, Hillingdon Council’s Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Property, said: “We’re proud to support our local sports clubs, and this agreement will allow the club to explore opportunities to bring these vacant spaces back into use.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“A new stadium and the associated facilities could provide many benefits to the borough, and I look forward to seeing the proposals as they take shape.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Acting Chairman of Wealdstone FC, Dominic Whyley, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been granted this exclusivity agreement to facilitate the Club’s need to find a new, permanent home which is vital to securing its future and all its ancillary community activities. We wish to place on record our immense appreciation of the support and encouragement given to the Club by Hillingdon Council throughout this process.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hillingdon Council has granted a three-year exclusivity agreement with Wealdstone Football Club so we can undertake exploratory investigations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[377],"class_list":["post-20122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hillingdon","tag-hillingdon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/gbr\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
