I was thinking the exact thing, from what i understand its just tick a few boxes check whats what and where its all going to go and we can move on, would be nice if the deciton can be made public so perhaps the club can announce on boots and all next week that its all systems go, anybody have a update?

As someone mentioned on here quite recently . . we already have outline planning so they can't knock back a stadium going on the site. What they can do is ask that the stadium architects make cosmetic changes to the plans. However, I'd find that bizzare if they did considering the council are the developer and it's their own designs that they have paid for with tax payers money. I am sure the hierarchy at the council have done everything possible to ensure their own planning department approve it to avoid additional costs, time and embarrassment.

A little birdie tells me that the detailed planning application has got approval today.

Roll on November!

Re: New Stadium Site Update Thread!!! : Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:49 pm  

I could well be wrong, but surely today's application is merely due process and now a formality ?
It must be nailed on to be given the green light as long as the stadium is "fit for purpose" etc, is not a visual monstrosity, it meets H&S requirements and is visitor/user friendly.
I'm quite happy to be put straight here, but personally I see no problems whatsoever.
It'll then be great to see the damn thing appear after such a lengthy process.
Congrats to all who have made this possible.

It's hot off the press this. They are probably writing it right now! on second thoughts the club needs permission from Peel and the Council to make Stadium statements so don't hold your breath!

Sorry John that would be difficult. I was at the meeting and it was firmly made clear that this has very little to do with SRLFC and we are only tenants therefore we have no power on what gets released and when by either the Council or Peel. Some of the reporting has raised a few eyebrows in the Town Hall, and muddied the waters a little but this is a community stadium that we will mealy be tenants in just like anyone else that wants to get on board.

Oh but it's great news all the same!

I just don't think the council and peel have any understanding of how badly this lack of info reflects on the club to it's fans and the RL world. It must also put a spanner in the works of any new stadium marketing opportunites.
