Is it actually an AONB though - or is that wishful thinking by residents?

One thing that the NIMBYS at Falmer were right about is that it would set a precedent of other developments like this. Wycombe could be just the first example

But, you know what, sod 'em.

Adams Park is in the Chilterns AONB.

The area shown shaded, with diagonal lines, is AONB.

Welcome to the Wycombe District Council Adopted Local Plan

Thanks Ed

I don't see how it can be AONB with an airport smack bang in the middle but won't the club have a bit of battle as the Local Plan says any development of the Air Park should be related to flying or be something that can't go anywhere else?

Something tells me that Wycombe are in for a long haul on this.

I had the same problem with our AONB and its clutter of dual carriageway and disgusting looking 1960s college buildings. But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At least we've managed to get our beautiful new stadium now recognised nationally as not being worthy of any protected landscape designation. I guess we can learn to live with that.

To her sisters near Stanley park, Liverpool....

But that also show the difference between the north and south. Up north they embrace their clubs where as down south we have a load of wankers who want to live out their lives making everyone elses lives miserable whilst they look through their Saga holiday brochure. Can you imagine BHA being given permission to build a new ground on Hove Park!!!!!! Which is what in reality Liverpool were given. Dont they have f***ing Nimbys up north or do they all just live south to piss off the likes of us.

Sure if we'd won 5 european cups, things might have been different. But we digress :p
