Just noticed this on the CCC Planning Portal, it's an email from company processing the Higgs development *and to the Planning officer at CCC. Posted for info -
"I refer to my email to you dated 10th June 2016 which sought to answer questions in relation to the use of the netball court and football pitch.
Unfortunately I had interpreted some of the informationn incorrectly such that my email may be slightly inaccurate. I therefore write to clarify mattters relating to the Alan Higgs Centre.
The email stated that the football pitch is currently leased to CCFC – this is innaccurate. CCFC currently have a User
Agreement in relation to the use of the grass pitchess, which expires on 30 June 2017.
In the interim, before the
agreeement expires, CCFC have agreed to move their match pitchh to one of the other pitches on‐site and Wasps are
contributing to the cost of thhe pitch move.
CCFC willl continue using the site until the end of June 2017 when the
agreeement expires.
The email to you inaccurately stated that the relocation of the Academy was subject to the approval of the Wasps
application, which is not the case.
After the expiry of the various agreementts on the 30th June 2017, the Academy need to decide where they will be located.
Once the constructioon of the ‘kicking barn’ is complete, Wasps have
offered the foottball club the use of it for up to 3 hours a day, 5 days a week starting at either 5pm or 6pm, which will
enable them to continue to train indoors should they wish to do so.
Therefore, they can use the kicking barn regardless of whether their outdoor training facility is based at the Alan Higgs Centre or not.
Wasps have offered that to them on a normal commercial basis.
After their agreement in relation to the Grass Pitches expires at the end of June 2017, the CCFC academy may stiill be
able to use other outdoor piitch space either on grasss or on the 3G area, but the availability of such pitch space is
something they would need to discuss and arrange directly with Coventry Sports Foundation.
I trust this emaill clarifies the matter and I would like to apologisee for any misunderstanding caused."
*Post edited for clarification as the header I'd written initially indicated the post was from the developer and CCC, but was in fact from developer to CCC.
