QPR have overcome two giant hurdles in their bids for both a new stadium and training ground.

Rangers have been granted permission to build 605 new homes on the site of a proposed new super site that includes residential blocks, businesses and a 35,000 seater stadium.

And no sooner had the champagne corks popped on that major breakthrough, the Ealing Regulatory Committee voted in Rs favour to stop a proposed footpath on the planned Warren Farm training ground complex.

The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation — set up to lead the regeneration of Old Oak — gave the club and its development partner Genesis Housing Association the go-ahead for the so-dubbed Oaklands at a City Hall meeting.

The site just north of Wormwood Scrubs is where Rs see their stadium future.

And on the proposed training ground bordering Osterley and Southall, the Save Warren Farm group's arguments to keep the site as it is, received a major blow when hopes of a footpath across the land - and therefore a veto of the Rs training ground - were dismissed.

QPR chief operations officer Mark Donnelly told www.qpr.co.uk : “This is another important step forward for the new facility at Warren Farm and we are pleased with the Council’s decision."

“The majority of local residents remain supportive of the club’s plans."
