Ska Junkie Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Why are they carrying on 'building' when they still don't have permission? I thought they had to stop until permission was / might be granted? Stinks of assumption and arrogance IMHO. It would be their best cock up ever (NLBR apart) if they had to take it down again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've read about similar with private individuals building unauthorised houses or extensions they are often ordered to tear them down. Council planning officers really don't like arrogant people who totally ignore the rules and their guidance and usually give it to them with both barrels. I think that there is a real possibility that Rovers will be ordered to tear it down with their only remaining option being to rebuild their old stand exactly as it was. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that they will. Remember those trees they cut down without permission, Greens on the council are gunning for them. If we behaved in the same way do you think that we would get away with it? I don't and I don't think that they will either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said before, but I think they’ll get consent, but it will be subject to some amendments to the proposals. Which, if it’s already there, will be more than a little awkward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you'd go ahead and build, And then you tear it down when ordered at an extra cost, and then rebuild it when pp is granted, It's not the builders fault they are working as per their contract 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bert tann Posted September 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Further up the pages there is some confusion about the role of the secretary which I hope I can clarify. The company secretary deals with corporate governance and is responsible for filing relevant documents at Companies House. The club secretary deals with football matters and is responsible for filing relevant documents with the football authorities. The personal secretary deals with personal matters and is responsible for keeping senior management satisfied. As an example of the latter I've inserted a 1957 vintage photograph of my own personal secretary Marjorie receiving the news that I was on my way back from Liverpool with a point in the bag. 2 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have no doubt they will get planning , but it puts the whole office in a bad light that they carry on regardless. If that was you or me, or some chancer they would probably make us tear it down. I hope they really make them jump through hoops just for their arrogance and twattish behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 5 hours ago, bcfc01 said: Supporters and Radio Bristol saying how dark it was in that corner due to the lights being partially obscured by the roof of the stand... Ah they have this covered. If you look closely the roof has concertinas in it. A bit like a horizontal shutter door would have. It’s probably made by the same company that used to do those awnings that the ex chief of Manchester police advertised. Just need to train a steward to pull the chain to open the roof up…… job done.

1960maaan Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Question for the Class. With all the chatter, and now they have lost a tent/stand/dwelling , how many seats do they have ? EFL minimum is 2,000. The only mention I can find is when they had 12,000 capacity, that is 2,500. My question is, is that all in their real stand ? How many seats do they have now ? All I can see is the new stand will increase seating by 3,000 but I can't see how many they have now they binned the old tent seating. Anyone ?
