Using a Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) L-band (1-2 GHz) surveycovering $\sim100$\,deg$^2$ of the Stripe 82 field, we have obtained acatalogue of 2716 radio AGN. For these AGN, we investigate the impact of galaxydensity on 1.4 GHz radio luminosity ($L_{1.4}$). We determine their closeenvironment densities using the surface density parameter, $\Sigma_N,$ for$N=2$ and $N=5,$ which we bin by redshift to obtain a pseudo-3D galaxy densitymeasure. Matching the radio AGN to sources without radio detections in terms ofredshift, $K-$band magnitude and ($g-K$)-colour index, we obtain samples ofcontrol galaxies and determine whether radio AGN environments differ from thisgeneral population. Our results indicate that the environmental density ofradio AGN and their radio luminosity are not correlated up to $z$ $\sim0.8$,over the luminosity range $10^{23} < (L_{1.4} / $W~Hz$^{-1}) < 10^{26}$. Wealso find that, when using a control sample matched in terms of redshift,$K-$band magnitude and colour, environments of radio AGN are similar to thoseof the control sample but with an excess of overdense regions in which radioAGN are more prevalent. Our results suggest that the $<1$ Mpc-scale galaxyenvironment plays some role in determining whether a galaxy produces a radioAGN. The jet power, however, does not correlate with environment. From this, weinfer that secular processes e.g. accretion flows of cold gas to the centralblack-hole are more critical in fuelling radio AGN activity than radio jetpower.
