 Poster: A snowHead
|
The plans for High Wycombe's ski centre have been given the thumbs up by councillors this week. Members of Wycombe District Council's Development Control Committee voted unanimously to pass the application put forward by the owners of Wycombe Summit.
...Snowdome Ltd wants to build a new icerink, reception area, function rooms and viewing gallery, along with a newly enclosed 100 metre training and nursery slope at the site in Abbey Barn Lane.
A new four-story club house will also be constructed as part of the plans to replace the original building, which was ravaged in a devastating fire two years ago. Since then the site has been shut down and become derelict.

I bet the locals can barely contain their excitement.
They waited two years. For a tiny slope, little bigger than my driveway

A wasted opportunity perhaps, but given that my SO's Dad lives at the bottom of the hill I'm not complaining too much!

saxabar, a 100m snow slope on a 300m facility - and would've been 400m if your SO's dad had agreed to sell...

slikedges,  True enough - even at 300 it would have been the only ski-in property on the market in England!

These snowdomes are vulgar representations of the failure for anyone to take any responsibility for climate change.
