£300m National Combat Sports Stadium complex for Aylesbury Vale
A pioneering 200-acre, multi-use leisure development, earmarked for Aylesbury Vale in Buckinghamshire, will offer a range of world class leisure facilities, along with a boot camp and hostels for disaffected youth. The development, which could cost between £200m and £300m will be centred around a 25,000-seat National Combat Sports Stadium (NCSS), which will be used for martial arts, including boxing and wrestling. Evergreen Homes will be involved with both the corporate and social project in conjunction with Neil Axe, the brains behind the project. Axe says the stadium will “rival the O2 in London, and the NEC venue in Birmingham”, in hosting live concerts. There will also be a 10,000-seat stadium for Aylesbury United football team, hotels, a waterpark, a casino, skateparks, a strip mall, warehouse shopping, a cinema and bars and restaurants. The project will be partially funded by the development of 1,500 homes.
