Only after the Home Secretary had overturned the initial rejection of a proposed ground at the end of Hillbottom Road in the Sands district of High Wycombe, could Wycombe Wanderers begin work on their new ground in 1989, funded largely by the proceeds from the sale of Loakes Park.
Wycombe Wanderers were only able to start building their new stadium after the Home Secretary approved a site at the end of Hillbottom Road in the Sands district of High Wycombe. This approval allowed them to proceed with construction, which was largely funded by the proceeds from the sale of Loakes Park.
