Won’t somebody please think about the gardens!!
Having been in Manchester yesterday to watch Teddy Swims and driving through parts of it, I’m pretty sure a bit of p**s will actually brighten the place up. I was shocked at how run down at lot of places looked this days, even in the city centre.
 
I like the look of those spires and think it is something we should incorporate in to our stadium design. After all, Oxford is famous for spires, not Manchester. We should have a moving viewing platform on one of the spires that could take paying customers up to marvel at the fantastic view of houses in Cutteslowe, Kidlington, Yarnton and Tackley.
 
Occ responce on planning just dropped on the whole i think positive most of it is traffic as to be expected


And then our favourite ian pops in
Just a short bit of it
Document dropped before Xmas I haven't had time to read it
it's too complicated to read
They have done this on purpose
Just admit it ian your are clueless

I think he needs a hobby

First he says the application isn't detailed enough. New application is 130 documents and claims this is too much to read, too stressful to read and overly complicated.

"If one was of a cynical disposition", what do you mean "IF" Ian?
 
"You must provide more detail...no, not that much more detail."

Extraordinary really. A planning officer will have the time and knowledge to properly scrutinise and cross-reference all documents and make recommendations accordingly, but just in case he doesn't like their findings, he is already suggesting conspiracy. The day this man is kicked out of local politics can't come soon enough.
 
Do we know if it'll be possible to watch games from the rooms that overlook the pitch?

You can't from the Blackpool's ground hotel so I'm guessing the same will apply to us.

I definitely will be booking a room though when it opens just to admire the great view of the beautiful stadium compared to the eyesore overgrown wasteland it is today.

Surprised Middleton hasn't suggested we move to Manchester and change our name
Well, if we were a bottom third of the table team who wanted to play in a dilapidated stadium, Old Trafford will become vacant in a few years.
 
ChatGPT has provided a summary for those of you who don't want to read a huge amount of waffle.

Middleton’s objections generally:
  • Overstate risks and feasibility issues, ignoring best practices from other stadium projects.
  • Cherry-pick uncertainties while dismissing proposed mitigation measures.
  • Underestimate flexibility, ignoring that plans will evolve with input from experts, residents, and real-world data.
 
A little more from ChatGPT regarding his objections to section 7.

Middleton’s objections:
  • Misrepresent standard planning practices (e.g., five-year monitoring is a common and effective approach).
  • Ignore existing accountability mechanisms (e.g., OCC oversight, legally binding S106 commitments).
  • Demand unrealistic levels of bureaucracy (e.g., indefinite TPC roles, excessive survey frequency).
  • Overstate stakeholder exclusion (consultation will occur as part of ongoing reviews).
The proposed monitoring and review mechanisms are proportionate and enforceable, ensuring that transport commitments are upheld without unnecessary administrative burdens.
 
He's just trying to prove his point about the confusing number of documents :ROFLMAO:
Ians claims there is a 130 new documents counting isn't great for starters there was 123 new documents uploaded on 11/122024

Straight away as soon as I saw it said chaper 4 and then para 2.2.2 I knew it was wrong
Chapter 4 will always relate to the para starting with urm 4

If you can't get the basic right then what is there for the rest of it
 
Finally, regarding water and drainage.

Many of the objections focus on concerns that are either speculative, outdated, or misunderstand the design and planning processes already in place. The drainage and water management strategies have been carefully considered and adjusted to account for existing and future risks, including climate change, infrastructure capacity, and flooding. The objections also fail to acknowledge that Thames Water and other relevant bodies are already working with the developers to ensure capacity and sustainability. The measures proposed, such as greywater recycling, rainwater harvesting, and surface water management through SuDS, are standard practices designed to minimise the environmental impact and should be considered appropriate given the nature of the project.
