Boston United Football Club – Where now?

The lease expires on the current ground in just over 4 years time The current ground is not fit for purpose, and is a financial drain

• n the club

The club is not sustainable in it’s current location regardless of the lease situation The first team lacks financial investment & is therefore is underachieving for a club of it’s size The community club lacks facilities for further development

THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO RELOCATE BOSTON UNITED AND THE COMMUNITY & EDUCATION PROGRAMMES INTO A NEW SUSTAINABLE FACILITY

The Current Local Plan is out date. A new Local Plan is being drawn up, with the south west of Boston being identified as the preferred location for future development in the town Lack of 5 year land supply In the emerging Local Plan, there is an identified need for 4520 new homes up to 2031 The 4520 projections are based normal historic trends, and do not allow for significant growth in the

• area. ie it meets local housing needs

This development would go towards meeting the current lack of supply, and the numbers required under the emerging Local Plan

AN EXCITING NEW COMMUNITY FOR BOSTON

How do we make sure the facility is secured for the community?

The Stadium will be held in a BUFC Community Interest Company

This will ensure that the stadium & facilities will not be subject to the on-going fortunes of the football club!

Funding?

Funding will be from a variety of sources

Total £100 million project value Total £5.5 million for stadium Stadium Funding via £3million from enabling development & balance from “sports funding” and fans/sponsorship initiatives Bid submitted for £2.5million for the initial infrastructure to open up the sites, to the Greater Lincolnshire Enterprise Partnership (Invest & Grow Fund) Bids being sought for the commercial sites “Sports Funding” application process will commence shortly Development finance being sought (possible mix of funding sources) The delivery of the project will need the “tangible” support of the whole community, Lincolnshire County Council & Boston Borough Council

Some of the key issues raised so far during the consultation process

Transport

Traffic modelling underway in conjunction with Lincolnshire County Council (throughout the town) This will give us an up to date picture of traffic movements around the town as well as around the Wyberton area Once the information is received, the effects of adding the development onto the road network will be modelled Our consultants will then develop an integrated transport strategy for the development. This will include not only looking at motor vehicle movements, but also pedestrian; cycle & public transport. We will not solve Boston’s transport problems! An event management Plan will be developed for the stadium, this will cover the management of traffic flows in & out of the

• stadium. It will also look at management of parking in the

surrounding areas on match days

Education

We are in consultation with the Education Authority. They will look at current school capacities, and the likely future pressures

• n the schools

When that information is received, it will give us an up to date picture of capacity of both primary & secondary provision in the area Once the information is received and understood, the Education Authority will ask for a contribution from the development to help alleviate the effects of the development on the schools network

Health

We are in consultation with the Health Authority. They will look at current capacities of local surgeries, and the overall health provision in the area, and any likely effects of the development When that information is received, it will give us an up to date picture of the capacity of healthcare provision in the area Once the information is received and understood, the Health Authority may ask for a contribution from the development to help alleviate the effects of the development on the healthcare structure

Flood Risk

Actually very few comments have been made about flood risk! The majority of Boston is at high risk of flooding Modelling is underway to look at potential effects of flooding from both rivers and the sea Once that information is received, mitigation strategies will be developed, which will not only ensure that the new homes are safe, but also that the development will not have a significant adverse impact on existing dwellings It is likely that minimum floor levels for the new homes will be agreed with the Environment Agency, and this is likely to include raised floor levels and some ground levels A Sustainable Urban Drainage System will be incorporated in the site

Residential Amenity

Concerns raised about overlooking Concerns raised about 3 storey properties Concerns about adjacent commercial activity No 3 storey properties will be proposed immediately adjacent to existing homes surrounding the development Careful attention will be paid to the orientation of proposed dwellings adjacent to existing homes, and window to window distances Design codes will be developed for the site A landscape belt will be provided between the commercial properties and existing residential properties A landscape belt will be provided between the new community stadium and existing residential properties A Management Company will be set up to managed all the proposed development, which will ensure that it is well maintained in perpetuity

Viability

As part of the planning application, we will submit a Viability Assessment

A simple example would be:- Income £10,000,000 Less Expenditure Land cost £2,000,000 Build cost £4,000,000 Infrastructure £1,000,000 Finance Cost £200,000 Overheads £500,000 Profit £500,000 £8,200,000 “Planning Gain” £1,800,000

The figures will be independently challenged/verified by the District Valuer At the conclusion of the consultation process, we will have a “shopping list” from all the stakeholders (ie education, health etc.) Discussions would then take place with Boston Borough Council to establish their priorities (from the shopping list) A Section 106 Agreement would be entered into which ties those contributions to the Planning Permission

Thank you for your attention, we hope that was useful for you to understand some of the background to the project, and where we are at the present time We are very happy to take questions
