Oaklands was assessed as potential site. As part of this, HDC confirm “the approved additional pitch is considered to be the last potential space on site to construct a new pitch and therefore, it is not considered that there is any further capacity to intensify the use of the site. It is considered that the site is not suitable for expansion or intensification”.
