Financial security for the Ageas Bowl, supporting the long term success of this world class international sporting venue.

New car-park to the east of the Ageas Bowl with direct access from Botley Road. Low impact ecologically friendly reinforced mesh grassed surface. This car park, combined with a new car park on Charles Watts for coach arrivals, provides extra on-site car parking capacity for the busiest events, reducing pressure on the the neighbouring roads and using ANPR technology to reduce traffic backing up on the road network.

The new eastern carpark allows vehicle and pedestrian arrivals to be deconflicted. Previously both arrived via Marshall Drive, now just pedestrians and segregated permitted residents will arrive via Marshall Drive.

The new housing will deliver a full range of accessible new homes, from two bedroomed apartments to five bedroomed family homes, weighed towards smaller homes.

A new 71 bed care home in a beautiful and secluded location will contribute significantly to the borough shortfall of and growing demand for high quality elderly care. Beautiful landscaped gardens will offer lovely amenity space.

Removal of the original processional walkway allows retention of all categories A trees.

The scheme offers significant ecological benefits via 15% biodiversity new gain (BNG).

A generously sized health hub will cater for a full range of medical needs, including pharmacy, physio, baby scanning and private doctor appointments. Even the private elements will reduce pressure on local NHS services.

Cricket club maintenance facilities will also be enlarged and better organised, to accommodate the pitch cover and additional machinery, and it’s hoped that a new pavilion will emerge in due course.
