Click on the ‘Comment on this application’ and describe all the benefits you see Puy du Fou bringing. This could include:
The fact that it is bringing 2000 direct jobs and 6000 indirect jobs to the area
The creation of a worl class, award winning destination with a unique offering not found elsewhere in the UK
The woodland setting, with the planting of 20,000 trees, 5 miles of hedgerow and 40 acres of wildflower meadow
The arrival of a theatrical based park which would appeal to families and groups of all ages
Their provision of training and partnership with Bicester and Banbury college, enabling a clear career pathway for interested locals
Whilst this is a large development, only 15% of the land will have buildings on it - no other opportunity would present such a biodiverse situation
Their stance on being fossil fuel free and commitment to renewable energy
The self sufficiency of their local water and drainage systems which will be self sufficient
The creation and monitoring of new road interventions, with the remedial work paid for by a % of car parking receipts
Their partnership with Chiltern Railways to ensure any new timetables are related to the arrival and departure times of visitors
Their staggered opening hours which will avoid travel peaks
Their commitment to using local suppliers
The benefits to the local area - for every GBP1 spent in the park, another GBP 3.20 will be spent by visitors in the local economy
