P34: 116. In terms of substitution, the development will lead to the loss of the events activity of the East of England Agricultural Society (EEAS) at the showground, as well as the loss of the Peterborough Speedway. The society has already however, handed control of the showground services (events) to AEPG, which reduced their staff numbers. These jobs transferring to AEPG and internal data
from AEPG shows that 15 jobs were associated with the events activity on the showground, of which 3 have been retained (once the events business ceased in summer 2023) to facilitate the development of the showground. This creates a net loss of 12 FTE jobs from the cessation of these event activities.
P36: 121. The loss of the speedway will potentially lead to the loss of jobs associated with its operation, including the Peterborough Panthers and the loss of visitor impact spend from attendees (33), if the Peterborough Panthers are unable to find an alternative location.
33) The site is limited to 2,200 visitors in the grandstand per club fixture. With 14 fixtures in the 2022 season, and 18 fixtures in the 2019 season (Peterborough Panthers | History), this provides a total maximum annual visitor number of
between 30,000 and 40,000.
P36: 122. If financially viable, the speedway would be expected to relocate to another location within the district. The public permission for this in principle already exists as policy LP30 of the Peterborough Local Plan states that viable leisure assets should be retained, or found a new viable location if the location becomes unviable. The current home of the speedway is planned to be developed, as noted in the Peterborough Local Plan spatial strategy which classifies the current site as ‘Urban Extension area G’ (35) 35 Which makes the retention of the Speedway in its current location unviable
P36: 123. Information supplied by AEPG and EEAS (as the site owner) shows that speedway on the site was always renewed on an annual basis and the rental income from speedway is insufficient to cover costs, leading to a large loss for the land owner. The EEAS, the site owner, is a charity and bound by its charitable objectives, which being agricultural do not include the provision of speedway. Even if the development did not occur, it likely that speedway would have needed to find a new home potentially before 2022, given a review of the EEAS operations which was begun in 2019 to ensure that its activities more closely supported its charitable objectives.
P36: 124. The loss of the speedway may cause the loss of a number of FTEs unless it can be relocated. However, as financial information for Peterborough Panthers is not publicly available, the number of jobs at risk is unknown. This potential loss has thus not been included in the calculations because: speedway was likely to need to be relocated anyway as part of delivering the agreed local plan; and if it is financially viable it will be able to find a new site
