RedM Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Wasn’t there a single house delaying this? The owners refused to move and the club had tried every bribe possible, but without this one property gone it was a non starter, or very very difficult.

There was but that's over and Chelsea were always going to win out on that even through the proper channels - the solution was for the council to compulsory purchase and the legals behind that, alternatives and yeah offering them large sums to walk, were being checked out. It's the right outcome in my opinion, one family should not be able to veto that sort of development, even if it is hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened in Liverpool too many years back didn’t it? One old lady (Elizabeth Pascoe) refused to leave the house she’d grown up in and the club basically had to wait for her to eventually pass on before they could develop the stand on Edge Lane...

If/when we want to redevelop the Atyeo were almost certain to face one final owner who can smell a pay day too.

Yes, I didn’t know the full details but yes that was very similar. It looks like in Chelsea’s case this hurdle has been overcome according to @29AR‘s info.

I think the way it played out was Chelsea tried everything commercial they could, a deal couldn't be done, some bright spark suggested the council compulsory purchase. That had to be well above board so took time to arrange. Then the family tried to get an injunction to stop the council buying - presumably funded by Chelsea so that needed to be checked out. I can't remember if they failed to get the injunction or pulled out in the end. If they failed, that may be the precedent - albeit a stadium was dependent on it, not a stand, maybe.

It was being held up because a home owner claimed the stadium would block their right to light and they obtained an injunction stopping development......it's settled now though - presumably they were made an offer they couldn't refuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately they were trying to get them to clear off - it wasn't the land (dimensionally) that was needed for the development, but it was the right to light that the land had.

Abramovich announces he wishes to sell Chelsea... you heard it here first It turns out he withdrew his visa application and didn`t have it refused after all according to the BBC. I wonder how in depth the background checks are for granting one nowadays and was he afraid something hidden thus far may come to light? It may be he`s just distancing himself from a post-Brexit UK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
