Objectors should be pleased that new conditions have been applied to the application for the consideration by the panel at the hearing on Monday 10th Jan, viewable at www.westoxon.gov.uk/files/reports/10835.pdf. These show that the Estate is now asking for a reduced number of events and earlier finish timings. Other new conditions are being applied too, which should address the Cumultative Impact issue that has been raised: -------------------
Conditions agreed with West Oxfordshire District Council Environmental
Health, Thames Valley Police and the applicant. 10 December 2010
Amended Conditions (1) Licensable activities will be limited to events held at the premises and will not be
for general use.
(2) Events will be limited to:
(a) Three events per annum where the proposed capacity exceeds a maximum
attendance of 5000 people; (and in addition to these):
(b) Ten events per annum where the proposed capacity is less than a maximum
attendance of 5000 people.
(3) (a) For the purposes of this application at (2)(a) above an 'Event' shall mean a
period not exceeding 3 consecutive days which may, for Outdoor Concert events,
be preceded by a fourth day when the licensable activities may take place with the
exception of regulated entertainment in the Main Arena.
(3) (b) For the purposes of this application at (2)(b) above an 'Event' shall mean a
period not exceeding one day (24 hours). Two consecutive days (48 hours) shall be
allowed and count as two events.
(4) For music events where the capacity is expected to exceed 5000, a designated
'Main Arena' shall be identified and the hours of regulated entertainment in the Main
Arena will be limited to 10:00 to 23:00 on each day of the event (with the exception
of a preceding fourth day when regulated entertainment cannot take place in the
Main Arena).
(5) Any 'fairground' entertainment and the use of PA systems (except in the event of
an emergency) at all events irrespective of size, shall cease at 23:00.
(6) All events are to be submitted to the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) and the
annual cumulative impact of noise upon the settled community will be a factor when deciding noise limits for each event. ---------ends------------------ I'm wondering if this is enough to satisfy any of those objecting to the application? And if not, what number of events and which conditions would help allay fears? Best, Cally
