Formal Planning Objection from CCFC (1 Viewer)

Fair play and the right thing to do.

If there is to be a meeting though as suggested, it might be a good idea to turn up.
They've asked the Planning Department to facilitate it. They've made public record of their intention to remain and their intention to keep the Academy. Maybe this will be a promise they'll keep and maybe they should remove or edit 'The Way Forward' on the club's website while they're at it

What happens if the application suspended or planning process is say delayed to 1st July 2017? CCFC on that date have no right to be there after that. Could CSF, Wasps simply sit tight till then?

That's not an exhaustive list OSB, but the point they've raised on the granting of the original PP being based on conditions around Green Belt land CCFC is interesting. I'm going to have to and pick through the original application to see what it contained.

Building on green belt already has exceptions in place for sports facilities:
"provision of appropriate facilities for outdoor sport, outdoor recreation and for cemeteries, as long as it preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it"

The original planning decision contains all sorts of statements about none of the remaining land being used to preserve the environment, community use (as it was public land) and that kind of thing. Would take someone with more knowledge of planning than me to pick out what is relevant.

Agreed Dave and finally a proactive step by the Club. As already mentioned above though, it does have the feel of a preamble for legal action.
Could well be. It does seem to me someone is pulling Wasps strings. Its a very odd decision to move to Higgs when they know it will impact on CCFC.

As much as I dislike Wasps are they really that vindictive? They're already in a location, albeit temporarily, that seems ideal and it has been indicated by the council there that a longer term stay wouldn't be an issue.

Glad they've done this. I guess we're seeing the real reason CA cancelled the meeting now. Oh, the duplicity hey Grendull.

The barn is another incursion, its a very tall building.

It can't have helped that the Club have already agreed to move to another pitch while the construction takes place,I'd have thought.

Again as he points out in the letter he has made several attempts to get information which has not been forthcoming.

If it was you you'd have toddled along with your pants down and the PR victory claimed.

Shows Anderson is on the ball.

You would think so. Might actually be some merit in this.
Possibly, but it won't be any taller than the existing building though and that's probably one of the reasons they chose the site in the first place. A kicking barn requires a tall structure and normally adding to an existing development requires any new addition to be no taller than the existing buildings.

Pretty sure this will have little bearing on the eventual outcome.
Leaving two potential scenarios of either litigation or again the veiled threat to the Clubs viability.
I don't like the frequency with which this term is being applied.

Definitely a pre-cursor to litigation.

I wonder if there is then a way of forcing wasps to reveal the 17 sites they looked at.

A well written letter and can't see anyone disagreeing with any of the concerns which are clearly expressed.

Maybe a Freedom of Information request to the Planning department? They would have need to have at least have had informal discussions about the proposed sites to gauge viability. Get on it Grendel.

I was thinking more along the lines that outdoor pitches will be lost to accommodate the kicking barn and that could be deemed an erosion of the green fields on the site and therefore contravene the original planning approval.

They've already said they hadn't got to that stage and all discussions must remain secret due to commercial confidentiality.

Its a lot taller.
