Bristol Rob Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 It is baffling how a club who can take 40,000 to Wembley and see thousands locked out somehow can't manage to submit coherent letters of support. They're busy moaning that 'the objections' have all been written by the pen of City fans, but at no point have any of them attempted to coordinate a positive response to the application, instead they moan that the Green Party have put the mockers on it, when in actuality their planning application has yet to be considered. The gift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly he lacks the style and charisma of our own shed man. Or a shed, for that matter. What a dump. I'm glad I don't live there looking at that view. I'd have to keep the curtains pulled.

Or indeed a stand to sit in. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Corner Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 apparently the new stand will potentially impact light to some houses, this will be a real issue if any of the residents affected have lived there for more than 20 years as they can claim right to light which should trump rovers plans.

Rights of light – what's the story -Trowers & Hamlins That's an old article and the law was changed slightly recently. Now it will depend on whether the residents can prove that any previous construction gave them enough light and that the new construction will reduce it by 50% or more. "Generally, any property having uninterrupted enjoyment of light for more than 20 years acquires rights to light. But that can be defeated if, before the expiry of 20 years, the light is obstructed for one year continuously.23 Mar 2023" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 4 minutes ago, Crackers Corner said: so the million dollar question is what was there before and the impact of the new stand. A temporary stand. That was removed and send to the All England Club every summer. Not sure if that works for or against the right to light argument. Suppose they could argue that because it was a temporary structure which I presume didn't require planning permission that technically there was nothing there to block light.

WarksRobin Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 There is no right to light There is however a legal requirement to consult meaningfully and to carry out an assessment of the impact of proposed development. There are also legal requirements for managing the impact of construction work, environmental damage and health and safety on site. From the sounds of it, they have broken the law and may be liable to an unlimited fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 There are some very poor attempts to justify what has happened in the comments section of that article. One tries to scare off the locals by suggesting that if Rovers don't get their way they will leave the Mem and what would be built instead would be worse than a stand. As if residential property would be bigger than a football stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 And if they have started or do start building it without consent, I’d imagine that will royally piss of the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 As someone who would happily never play them again it did occur to me that it would be hilarious if they had drawn us at home in the cup next week. Options? Ask to switch the game to a ground that’s fit for purpose or otherwise a complete logistical nightmare, as presumably we would have been guaranteed a certain percentage of space in their ramshackle, 3 sided ground. Sort of wish it had happened now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 I’m really out of the loop on the latest shenanigans north of Bristol so - without trawling through all the posts , are we saying they started a development without the appropriate planning permission? And now even though they have sold tickets for this stand - it won’t be ready in time for the start of the season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Without the South and South East tents and no replacement yet to be constructed I think they must have dipped under the minimum ground requirements. The mandate for any club entering the league is after 3 years (2018 for them) the ground must have a minimum capacity of 5000 with a minimum seated capacity of 2000. The west and east stands have 750 and 1100 respectively and I think they took down those bus shelter tents they built over the terracing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
