BBC Strictly star puts home on sale amid ‘new chapter’<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n “However, modern, fit-for-purpose accommodation is now required to facilitate a new era of growth, enabling Williams to compete at the highest level, and attract and retain the brightest and best talent.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This application seeks full planning permission for the demolition of a redundant testing facility and the construction of a new testing and development building with associated ancillary infrastructure.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Planners for Williams have said the new building would be constructed from “robust, low-maintenance” materials with high weathering performance, which would ensure a long-lasting and context-appropriate appearance.\n<\/p>\n
\n Williams added: “The proposals have been designed with consideration and incorporated mitigation measures to minimise the potential effects of the proposed development on the landscape and visual resources.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This includes the proposals designed to fit into the footprint of the existing built development, to complement the Williams F1 campus and the local landscape.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The building has been proposed to be of a comparable scale and massing to those existing buildings on the campus.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Williams added: “The proposals form a key part of Williams\u2019 strategic masterplan to meet the needs of the expanding F1 team.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The proposed development represents a vital opportunity for Williams to secure a state-of-the-art facility needed to succeed in the incredibly competitive world of Formula 1 whilst continuing to inspire and train the next generation.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Earlier year, Williams also put forward plans for a new factory, technology and testing facilities, new office accommodation and new staff facilities in Grove.\n<\/p>\n
\n If approved, these additional plans would generate around 300 new jobs for the team, documents submitted to the council say.\n<\/p>\n
\n Proposals have been submitted to Vale of White Horse District Council<\/a> in a planning application, which can be viewed under the reference P25\/V1909\/FUL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Grove-based team is looking to demolish the current wind tunnel, used for analysis of the aerodynamics of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431425,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[4199,707,4200,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-431424","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-f1","9":"tag-formula-1","10":"tag-formula1","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115220274360464124","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431424\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
