What is going on? A planning application has been submitted for the demolition of the Club's site and for the erection of lodges to take its place!.

Check it out >here< on the West Oxfordshire Council site. Anyone got anymore information, does that mean the end of a site for Blenheim Palace and Woodstock or is the reason for the popup site?

Maybe the site for tourers is moving to this years pop up temp site as a more permanent site?

Pity the Club couldn't tell members about this and if the site is to be relocated. The Estate's application was made in September.

Haven't heard anything about Bristol either.

Clearly it is out of the club's hands and the Trust is taking the site back. There is much info to be seen, as TDA said, and this is another example.

Agree 100% peedee. Surely the club would have been told of these plans. They may not be able to do much about it but they could at least let members know, out of courtesy if nothing else.

Have just gone through the application documents on Peedee post and can find nothing about any relocation of the touring site,

Interesting that the application still classes the lodges as "caravans" although the bases are of Cotswold stone

I think Bristol is still waiting further "enviromental" reports and input from the HMG dept?
