Bladon Chains - another lost site?

I suppose you could object on the basis that it is taking away valuable touring pitches from the Oxford area which have good access to public transport but beyond that it is difficult to come up with something that is likely to sway the planning committee!

The Pop Up Site is apparently in the field beyond the main site. Quite a few of the reviews from people staying on the main site have complained about the pop up site for various reasons but beyond the reviews I don't know how widespread it is.

It is possible that a new site could be built on that field but it would rather be at odds to the reasons for converting the existing site to holiday lodges? This is where we are missing information from the Club.

We stayed there last December and the pitch we were originally offered was not acceptable. It was tiny and was on a slope. Most of the hardstanding are not very large, a few around the toilet block are a bit bigger. If you compare Bladon Chains with more modern Club sites it would not be classed as one of the best on the network.

As it is/was a leased site from the estate ,it may well have been on the cards to be taken back hence the lack/ of investment in the site 

Morn Hill was and still is according some  waiting upgrade finance, although the "problems" it seems ,as to the lease/sale have been solved.

The following is from some communication i had with a senior member of the EGH team in July and i am sure has not improved

"All non-essential expenditure, project work,and new site development work is suspended indefinitely and this could continue for many months yet"

 

 

I suspect it’s more an Estate issue than an unwillingness to put in improvements from a Club point of view. If the lease wasn’t worth it (and clearly the Estate had other plans) then the Club would be cautious about spending much on something out of their control? 🤷‍♀️ 

 

Well I don't know how you spot these things Peedee but the application is on behalf of the estate and it's definitely for holiday lodges. Site plan LINK

The project still has the CAMC in it's title.

Just had a look at the site details and it shows that it is closing on September 20th 2021.

Duplicate post.

Could be end of lease at end of month? give cc chance to clear site of all equipment

This site is playing up when I pressed the reply button it just went back to the main discussions page twice heyho but eventually it came up twice.  Bladon is on a monthly rental, lease ran out a couple of years ago when talking to the then wardens.
