62 acres of land in Whitley
I presume it wasn't suitable for a football stadium?

Deleted member 5849 · Mar 25, 2015

Well Kevin Maton didn't seem to think so.

Perhaps SISU just didn't make an offer ? History repeating itself?

If you consider the Stadium Forum Committee to have any relation to the club then... yes.

Cllr Maton stated that every site available in the city was primarily for housing or employment in accordance with the City Development plan for the next 20 years.

I wonder what the differences there is getting planning permission for that and for a stadium.
I assume it is due to traffic?

I'm sure that jobs had something to do with it.

torchomatic · Mar 25, 2015

Maybe. However, I can't see why. Say 3000 cars once every two weeks for a stadium to 3000 cars twice a day every day.

*3000 cars is a made up, pulled-out-of-a-hat figure. Could be more. Could be less.

Also the following.

The planning authority makes the decisions based on the appropriateness of the application in relation to the existing Coventry Local Plan Policy and National Policy (the Nation Planning Policy Framework – NPPF)

Given the local plan sees sites identified as for housing or employment, a stadium would fail that appropriateness test.

No it wasn't suitable - nothing to see here.

It really would be great if JLR would purchase CCFC

A works team? Very 19th Century.

I suppose JLR planning to build two factories and create 11k jobs gives them a lot of leverage anyway

I dont believe it either but im open minded enough to listen and change my mind unlike so many on here with an entrenched view which means they are incapable of listening or changing their minds. Ive still no idea if SISU asked or not or it just wasnt worth asking. You know facts rather than opinion.

bigfatronssba · Mar 25, 2015

Two more factories in the pipeline, be interesting to see where they are. Two less sites for a football ground.

skybluetony176 · Mar 25, 2015

When I lived in Coventry I use to run around the woods by Jag Whitley and I can tell you now why TF never put an offer in. Badger poo. It's everywhere around that general area.

Being serious though so did pass it last week and did think it would be ideal so to ask why no enquiry (assuming there hasn't been one) is the right question. The other question is with this on the door step why are they apparently courting RBC?.

In fairness I imagine it is greenbelt land, so it would be a no no for a football stadium anyway imo.

It's always been earmarked for commercial or housing as Maton admitted.

I can't see how a stadium would go there even if it wasn't given the traffic infrastructure.

I can't imagine that's too different for any council given that 2 of the major buzz words in politics are employment and housing.

torchomatic · Mar 25, 2015

And "confidentiality agreement"

Good news for Cov this. Only the other day on here I was bemoaning the way JLR neglected its so spiritual home.

I see the council are again seeking credit for what is obviously a JLR strategic commercial decision.

Love your first comment shame you had to add something negative to it.

It's factually accurate though.

Unfortunately it is not. Unless you or Fern have been involved in the negotiations.
Who knows what the council did or didn't do to help pave the way.

Why put anything negative about such good news.

Just a shame when the Ricoh becomes the JLR Arena that we are not at the table to enjoy the spoils

Deleted member 5849 · Mar 25, 2015

tbf if JLR moved out of the city completely, the council'd cop the flack, so no reason they can't bask a little.

It would surprise me now if they didn't become the sponsors of the Arena.

Loving Mr Gilbert's 5 point piece on the deal - although I can't confirm that publicly.

Correct. The owners of the land want paying if they sell it.

So now it's OK to be needlessly negative when things are looking up, so long as we're factually accurate? Or is it only the CT who are banned from being a buzzkill?
