pillred Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 32 minutes ago, The Bard said: Only possible legitimate objection would be an increase in traffic and whether there is enough car parking. If the proposals involve more car parking spaces that can be utilised on match days, most local residents will be happy. Transport is the key thing though. If they can get a train running to and from Portishead and the Metrobus being used more, it should alleviate problems. and get rid of those bl***y traffic lights outside where the old Mercedes garage used to be, do my head in on match days, they are almost single hand idly responsible for all the traffic problems around the Cumberland basin.

INCRED Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Having read through the detail of each element one if the key elements are the 200 houses at Ashton vale which appears to be key to funding the other project items and getting planning permission may be an issue with BCC. If you assume 200 houses at an average sale value of £250k then you are looking at £50m. Average build cost per house circa £100k then that leaves £30m towards the overall £100m. Obviously the apartments at AG will also contribute a profit of circa £20m so the property developments are a key driver in the overall commercial viability of the scheme being built.

A conference centre with basketball every second weekend is fine but that's it. That’s not the rationale, the finances of each are completely separate. Bristol Sport provides the economies of scale of centralised support to keep the individual costs down. Football doesn’t fund basketball, nor vice-versa. As per SL’s interview, both need to be self sustainable in their own right. The Flyers will not achieve that on 750 sell-out crowds, hence the move to BS3.

Then the ducker jumped off his yacht and drowned. Who’d have thought it...... I’m not excited about any of this. It’ll turn the place into a soul less looky likey precinct.

While I agree it's common sense to expect noise if you buy a place next to an established music venue, the idiots that brought a noise abatement case against the Fleece actually won so the venue has to shut earlier than previously most days of the week. Scandalous, I know. If they were built now, it would be the developer that would have to notify potential purchasers of the issue and sound proof the building accordingly.
