bcfcrobin Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 They seemed to be against any development on southlands because of the detrimental effect it would have on the greenbelt. Obviously the stadium is also on the greenbelt but they thought that this deserved to be labeled a 'special' circumstance. Unfortunately, the proposal of housing on southfields just doesn't seem to be a good enough reason for the council to want to build on the greenbelt. Are there any other developments that could generate £5.5m for the club which could receive this 'special' status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Bristol Red Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think that was in a hope that the Councilors would pass it. thats what i thought aswell, from what i also thought was its a £60-£65 million project £20 million from the sale of ag, and i thought sl was going to fund the other chunk from selling £40 odd million worth of shares in his company, i might be and probably am wrong with this thou or im missing something sb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
