Cray Wanderers Football Club were successfully granted approval (subject to conditions) for their application to build a multi-purpose stadium on Flamingo Park, Sidcup By Pass Road, Chislehurst.

Bromley Council’s planning committee voted in favour of the scheme by a comfortable majority, after a presentation from the club and written support from Bob Neil MP, Sport England, the FA and London Sport, many amongst others.

This decision will now be referred to the London Mayor and the Secretary of State for ratification and is subject to planning conditions to be proposed by the Council.

Assuming the above criteria is met, this decision will finally result in an outstanding stadium, community regeneration scheme and long awaited home for London’s oldest football club.

Gary Hillman, CWFC’s chairman said “I want to thank Bromley’s planning committee for appreciating the community benefits and genuine common sense of our scheme to finally provide Cray Wanderers FC with a home, I would equally thank the incredible support from fans and Bromley residents to make our dream a reality”
