In a statement, daa said the approval, issued within the statutory 18-week timeframe, provides "much-needed clarity and certainty" within the expected period for such determinations. The airport operator also described the development as a key investment in community facilities and engagement.

The scheme was developed by a team that includes AFL Architects, Mott Macdonald engineering services, Fabrik landscape design, and Ridge and Partners built environment consultants. Designed for a capacity of 16,000 spectators, the master plan also proposes a 1,000-person events space, a 180-bed hotel, a restaurant, a health and wellbeing centre, and a new public plaza with gardens. The stadium will occupy a five-hectare (12-acre) site in the Triangle area, located 6 km north of Oxford, adjacent to Oxford Parkway railway station and Kidlington Roundabout.

The comprehensive master plan introduces a wide range of new amenities, public spaces, and mixed-use facilities, supporting both Benfica's long-term financial sustainability and its community-focused mission.

The planned demolition of the Angel Way multi-storey car park in Romford is part of a major redevelopment plan to create 106 new homes and commercial units.
