As a Cas fan, i'm not up on all your details, your council or the area where your ground is to be built. I do know where it is though so unless there's a family of otters living there I personally wouldn't see any reason for your plans to be rejected, so fingers crossed all will go well. As a fan of a club in the same boat as you, i can't wait until we're all sorted (even Wakey!) and playing in our shiny new stadiums. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly from here!

it was held up for two years because some cavemen had lived there in the past

Not quite. It was held up because it was referred to the office of a caveman with rudimentary language skills.

but with two chariots and not bad with a mallet.

Welcome to last week.

Conveniently

The LSV didn't seem to get held up, and they've still got cavemen there??

Forgive me if they is a stupid question, but when will the decision be made if we are submitting the plans today?

Thanks in advance

I was thinking the exact thing, from what i understand its just tick a few boxes check whats what and where its all going to go and we can move on, would be nice if the deciton can be made public so perhaps the club can announce on boots and all next week that its all systems go, anybody have a update?

i thought it was all go anyway? didn't know we had to get permission again for it?

As someone mentioned on here quite recently . . we already have outline planning so they can't knock back a stadium going on the site. What they can do is ask that the stadium architects make cosmetic changes to the plans. However, I'd find that bizzare if they did considering the council are the developer and it's their own designs that they have paid for with tax payers money. I am sure the hierarchy at the council have done everything possible to ensure their own planning department approve it to avoid additional costs, time and embarrassment.

A little birdie tells me that the detailed planning application has got approval today.





Roll on November!

I could well be wrong, but surely today's application is merely due process and now a formality ?
It must be nailed on to be given the green light as long as the stadium is "fit for purpose" etc, is not a visual monstrosity, it meets H&S requirements and is visitor/user friendly.
I'm quite happy to be put straight here, but personally I see no problems whatsoever.
It'll then be great to see the damn thing appear after such a lengthy process.
Congrats to all who have made this possible.

Can you send the little birdie to The Willows and get it to issue a press release.

It's hot off the press this. They are probably writing it right now!

on second thoughts the club needs permission from Peel and the Council to make Stadium statements so don't hold your breath!

Sorry John that would be difficult. I was at the meeting and it was firmly made clear that this has very little to do with SRLFC and we are only tenants therefore we have no power on what gets released and when by either the Council or Peel. Some of the reporting has raised a few eyebrows in the Town Hall, and muddied the waters a little but this is a community stadium that we will mealy be tenants in just like anyone else that wants to get on board.

Oh but it's great news all the same!

I just don't think the council and peel have any understanding of how badly this lack of info reflects on the club to it's fans and the RL world. It must also put a spanner in the works of any new stadium marketing opportunites.

John Wilkinson was on BBC Radio manchester this morning re the formal planning application meeting , the BBC RL show is on tonight between 6-7 pm I guess this may be discussed .

I see what you're saying but believe me they defiantly do know and they are very keen for this to happen but there are still processes they have to go through. The RFL will be kept fully briefed throughout and I'm sure a press release will be issued in the next 24 hours.

Just a shame the manchester Evening News couldn't find the right Bleedin' picture, at least the seats ain't green on this one.
