RedRaw Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Maybe he’s referring to the fact the structure being shown is not the south stand behind the goal but the bus stop on the side….still, they don’t have planning for that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 They are discussing what name to give to their new stand. To be fair, I did like this one. The ‘Print that, you Green Bastards’ Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Council`s statement a week or two back could not have been clearer - stop work until we tell you it can proceed. That`s really going to endear them to the the planning officers. They should turn it down as a matter of principle now - pour encourager les autres. But of course, `We`re Bristol R*overs, we do what we want`. I really hope it all does go tits up for them, it will be only what they deserve for trying to ride roughshod over the rules. Tempting as that would probably be to a planning officer, I don’t think it will get refused any more so now than it was ever going to be. The reality is that they’ll get consent. However, it’s far more likely that the planners require some minor amendments to the proposals, height, size, aspect, things like that. Which would be more than little awkward if the thing’s already built. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club are probably aiming to get the southwest section completed first so that they can seat all the season ticket holders that have to be moved to other parts of the ground. Everbody, Councillors and staff at BCC have supported the application except the Greens, so it is very likely the application is now going to go through so the club might as well get on and start the work. Greens and nymbies futile effort to delay the application is just that, I have dealt with thousands of consultations on the environmental aspect of applications and comments made by the Greens and nymbies are spurious, petty and in some cases untrue. Some still think that the club should hold back on the construction because planning laws may have been broken, but the planning department have broken every statutory law on the timeline of the application. Hopefully Edwards will see sense and withdraw her requst for the application to go to committee and we can enjoy the first major stand to be built at a Rovers ground by the club in most of our lifetimes sooner than later.

RedRaw Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 They clearly just do not get that regardless what the greens may or may have done, the reason for the complete fudge up is due to the club completely disregarding the due legal planning process in producing the bare minimum documentation for such a development and then expecting it to fly through planning without any scrutiny. The fact they appear to have also commenced some form of construction is nothing short of contempt of the whole planning system. If BCC let this fly, I would imagine there could be a case for a judicial review 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxfordreference.com appropriately defines NIMBY as an acronym, “the initial letters of the words ‘not in my back yard,’ signifying resistance to proposals to establish an unsightly or distasteful industry or development, such as a halfway house for recovering drug addicts or a dump site, in the neighbourhood.” Wertongas, who has dealt with “thousands of consultations” no doubt believes his version NYMBIES to be an acronym for ‘Not Yet My Babber I’m Eating See’. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know the rules in detail, but I’d be amazed if there was any possibility at all of them getting a safety certificate for a stand that doesn’t have planning consent (and thereby won’t have satisfied building regs). And without a safety certificate they can’t use it anyway. Or if they did they would be foolish beyond belief. And didn’t we have to run 2 or 3 games as ‘trials’ before we got the safety certificates on our new stands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
