    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I am unable to read the article. Is he referring to a temporary lease extension to avoid ground share or permanent? Presumably, the former.

    Sorry, very special circumstances.

    Exactly that and quite possibly the only VSC. Odd that he should come out with this now as it is also counter-intuitive to his own plans for housing development on the site.

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Under the members code of conduct, she would need to declare an interest in the item and be required to leave the room and not speak/vote on the application, unless granted a ‘dispensation’. Nevertheless, it would be advisable to draw this to the club’s attention, if not already aware, as it...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    If CDC resolves to grant planning permission, the application would need to be referred to the SOS under The Town and Country Planning (Consultation) (England) Direction 2021 as it is an application fior planning permission that is ‘Green Belt development’. The SOS would then have the power to...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    We’re different in that the land is Green Belt which means it will be much more challenging to secure planning permission. I fully expect us to succeed, but the unknown will be timescale. Middleton is already posturing that there will be a Public Inquiry, which would only be the case if the...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    The net-zero and BREEAM ‘excellent‘ requirements are certainly more onerous than current CDC planning policy thresholds, but not unachievable in my view (certainly the latter). Our sustainability consultants Ridge and Partners) have also been historically working on the new Forest Green stadium...

    As this is Green Belt land, the application would need to be referred to the SOS as a matter of standard planning procedure even if CDC resolve to grant planning permission. There is a risk that the application could be 'called-in' by the SOS for decision, but OUFC are clearly engaging with...

    Planning will not be 'side-stepped', as it will ultimately be a Secretary of State decision anyway.

    General 19/09/2023 - OCC Cabinet Meeting

    Well said Councillor. The sale is conditional on planning permission and the traffic/transport concerns will all be addressed in the planning application. They are not a reason to delay the cabinet decision.

    General 19/09/2023 - OCC Cabinet Meeting

    The traffic impact concerns would all be addressed in a planning application through robust technical assessment and so I would question the materiality of these points to the cabinet decision on whether to agree the land deal.

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    Thank you for the kind acknowledgements. One more point, and apologies if it falls into the category of teaching one’s granny to suck eggs, but when the application finally lands and goes out to public consultation, it is imperative that we all take the opportunity of submitting written...

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    Plenty do unfortunately and some with the benefit of pro bono legal advice/representation. Sadly, there is plenty of decision-making precedent showing that to be the case. Indeed, Richard Buxton, who we had to fight off when I was acting on the original Fulham Football Stadium redevelopment back...

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    CDC are not the ultimate decision-maker here, as the remit will be with the Secretary of State. You are also overlooking the ability for the decision to be judicially reviewed (all it needs is Richard Buxton to be instructed by an objector and a fight will be on) so it is anything but a done...

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    My worry is less about the likelihood of FoSB influencIng a refusal of planning permission, but more their ability to delay a start on site by judicially reviewing the Secretary of State’s ultimate decision whether the application is called in or not.

    General Lord Aamer Ahmad Sarfraz

    The application would need to be referred under the relevant regulations, so potentially helpful indeed.

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    There is sadly no distinction in Green Belt policy. Contaminated land can be remediated to remove any human-health risk hazard. Stratfield Brake is more challenging in terms of existing playing field status and the related community use obligations which means Sport England would be a statutory...

    General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

    It’s Green Belt and so we will need to demonstrate ‘very special circumstances’ in planning policy terms to outweigh the harm otherwise arising by reason of inappropriate development. The existing lease position at the KS and the unlikelihood of that being renewed may well constitute the VSC but...

    Manager/Coach KREXIT: The 'Robbo Out' thread.

    Erick looks to have given the thumbs down to 5 managers in his 5 year tenure at Inter, so the thumbs up might not be too far away.

    Ultimately, it will be a decision for the Government because even if the Council resolves to grant planning permission, the application would need to be referred as a matter of planning procedure to Greg Clark (if still in post then) as Green Belt development and a departure from the statutory...
