Anyone know what the figures are and how far apart.
If it's a mill or two then is it really a problem.
We are a PL club.

When has that ever stopped posters from going 'off piste' to use a Willo term. {Doombear - write out 50 times "I must not use Willo terms"

Oh dear.

Maybe someone will explain to you a little later

You're correct, but as Parish specifically cited sainsburys as the last main hurdle I presume he's confident the replacement houses can be achieved. We've certainly agreed and signed the post-planning permission legal agreement which addresses the issue.

My take (and I work in planning) is that finding land, obtaining planning permission and delivering even a relatively small number of replacement houses in the local area won't be quick, easy or cheap. I presume the club put a land agent to work on the task the second we got planning permission, and I'd hope progress would have been made by now. They might have bought the appropriate site under a separate name to cpfc so that the price didn't get inflated.

A poster called Dorking is also a planner, and he or she was following the planning application in far more detail than me. Hopefully they'll be along shortly to tidy up my messy answer!

I cant speak for maple but certainly the question I would ask you is: given that Parish has delivered what he said all along was the main priority, namely the academy, what makes you so doubtful that he can deliver the new stand?

One of the planning conditions is that no work above the level of the existing stand is allowed to take place until 6 new dwelling have been completed (or words to a similar effect). Another states the club need to give 12 months notice to buy the houses on Wooderson Close so the council can rehome the people that live there.

Croydon Council's backhander (sorry S106) is £1m.

They had to jump through hoops with air quality, noise, and storm water assessments, and are having to review all the parking restrictions within a mile of the stadium (there's no where to park anywhere is there). For some reason a new cycle route has got to be included in the S106 as is that fashion now.

Despite huge positive the planners seemed to have filled their boots with this project and done everything possible to delay the potential benefits it brings. Blockers would be a better name for them.... particularly in Croydon as they seem to drive away development with stupid demands. Its the ultimate job for the useless power hungry civil servant.

Sainsbury's also remains an issue.

Fulham announced their plans to construct the Riverside stand, now costing £100m in 2008. Wimbledon took almost 30 years to find a new ground. Without strong political will, these projects drag on and on.
