WarksRobin Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 17 hours ago, Furious Custard said: I'm semi involved in the planning industry. Anyone can search the local registers for planning applications that have been made. I cannot find anything relating to a training pitch at this site. So no planning yet. I imagine the image is from an architect bidding for the the job or for a pre planning application. The crest on the side of the building looks interesting??? Planning Permission was granted in December 2016. However as planning permission normally lapses after three years if it isnt implemented, it is possible that there is no planning permission currently in place. If they are only proposing to clear up the site and improve the existing pitches then they may not need planning permission for Phase 1 but they wont be able to change the buildings without it. Interestingly the planning proposal refers to non-professional use so it must be NLBR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a restriction on the hours of use, which they were appealing against, something like restricted use between 9am and 5pm. I have a feeling they never continued with their application but, were in discussions with the planning authority over what they could do there. I believe applications for temporary structures are quite straight forward and, more importantly, don't need architect costs to implement them.

Really hard to disagree with any of that anyalsis. 6000 or so thousand of the great unwashed per home game and a "stadium" which is the envy of.....absolutely no one. I am struggling to think of any team in any division that would gladly swap either fan base or stadium with Moron FC. So that really sets them apart from everyone. They are on a par with no one. The list of teams they mentioned are something they would aspire to. If you were pushed you would say likes of Accrington Stanley, Southend United, Gillingham and Fleetwood could be used as a fair comparison to their current state. They could have no complaints with that. Anyway ground for ground they lose every single time. Accrington Stanley - On par - Room to develop if necessary. AFC Wimbledon - No Blackpool - No Bolton - No Moron FC Coventry City No Doncaster United - No Fleetwood Town - On Par r Gillingham - No Ipswich Town - No MK Dons - No Lincoln City - On Par.... but Lincoln would take it everyday if you had a choice Oxford United - No Peterborough - No Portsmouth - No Rochdale - On par, but once again you would take that over Memorial Rotherham - No Shrewsbury Town - No Southend - On par, but you would take this over Memorial Sunderland - No Tranmere - No Wycombe Wanderers - No Edited June 5, 2020 by WayOutWest 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
