| Well done to BFC for buying the land for the new stadium. I hope this guy who has taken ownership is the genuine article. Anyone here remember what was planned for GP back when the original plan for the move was mooted? The front page story says 'family housing' but the housing world has changed since the recession and the coallition as social housing has effectively been scrapped for new development. So what might have been informally agreed in the past as part of a planning brief for S106 with LBH may no longer be possible. The land value of GP will obviously be key to financing the new stadium and the club will be looking to maximise this. A land swap with Barrats might be included in the deal?. The surrounding streets will cause problems if they seek high blocks of flats but architects may find a solution..... I am about to move home close to the ground so whilst not a natural nimby do have an interest in what might get built... |
