In the Advertiser 15 October 2009 see page 46 Public and Legal Notices where Peel Land(Red City) are applying for planning permission for a 20000 seat sports stadium with associated integrated facilities.

Are we really on our way now?

Good spot that man.

Surely to god they have already got this??, what was all the hoo haa about a year or so ago when planning permission was granted ????

That was outline planning permission - i.e. "Yes, you can build a stadium of that specification and that kind of appearance on the site". This appears to be full planning - so the detail of what it will look like and be made of etc. We shoudl see some new renders soon.

Just to add to this. Peel put a £400 million tender out last week for the construction of the port and the supporting infrastructure (which I would assume includes all the stadium access roads and modifications to the M60 exits).

its coming, not long now .... shall we set up a viewing pod at barton to watch them build, i seriously cant wait to take the odd cheeky day off to go and see

things do seem to be aligning themself behind the scenes

That project looks huge,so a little 20,000 seater stadium will be nothing to them.

Up and running and creating jobs in Salford, surely just a matter of rubber stamping through and start dates sorted.

Who wants to bet that Peel submitted their originl plan for a Leigh/HJ type stadium?

Personally I don't care now... anything will do... It seems to have brought Warrington some success.

Any idea of how long it will take for the planning permission to be granted?

Normally at least 12 weeks for full detailed planning permission.

Which takes us upto christmas the work will start which will be a good present for us all, can they turn the ground over now or do we need to wait till then?

i thought the ground has already been done?

I drive past it regualar on the motorway and its still green unless im looking in the wrong place or was it just they put pipes in to get rid of the gas or somthing?

To be fair mate.. seeing as your council are well on side with this I wouldn't be surprised if this goes through in record time. I think you might be well on your way before the Christmas break.
If you needed to you could certainly clear the land again as that doesn't need planning permission. It's all a question of whether they want to take the (incredibly small really as to be discounted) risk of the permission being refused and having spent the money on the clearing.

It won't be long before you have real, actual movement on this I'm sure!!

I thought this pic was taken during the grounds being cleared? saying that its been that long the place is probably overgrown again

No wonder i cant see it its miles from the bridge, id need a telescope or somthing



and another thing who is lurking on the far left in the background? Bet John went mental ruining the shot like that

If a full planning application has been put in, then it should be available on the Salford Council Planning Portal [urlhttp://www.salford.gov.uk/living/planning/development-control/planninglist.htm[/url in the next week or so.

Will be worth keeping an eye out, because when it does turn up on the site, attached to it will be all the plans and drawings for the project, and so we should be able to get an idea of how the finished product should look, and how much has been sacrificed in the new design.

Hope that's one of these new fangled safety baseball caps or Elf and safety will close us down before we even start.
