These people have a right to object, doesn't mean they'll be able to stop it. I'm sure the club took advice before they bought the land. True for the most part but I am the exception. My house backs onto fields yet when there were plans to build on it there was uproar from my neighbours, petitions started...the usual, I didn't sign it, people have to live somewhere, the house I live in was once open land. smug mode enabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me sort of, there were plans to build on fields and the biggest protesters where those living in the houses next to the field, yeah ok, but those house weren't even a year old and had been built in fields at the back of other new houses. Didn't sign it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houses in an open space is completely different to football pitches and training facilities in an area already hosting a golf club and club house.

Webbo Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I would think the main objection is the 500 seater stadium, there'll be traffic if we play youth games there. Maybe the County FA will play games there too. That said, if theres a training ground there, there won't be any houses built on the land so what's worse?

Whilst this looked odd on the planning application I imagine the law would be any stadium 500 or over would be a lot harder to get through planning.

ianking5 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 A few years ago Sileby Town Football Club were given land by a local farmer to build a new football pitch on the outskirts of Seagrave.The villagers were in uproar regarding this although at the time when the golf course was in operation lights from their golf range flooded the whole of the Soar Valley.The appeal by the villagers was heard at a meeting with Charnwood Borough Council,where one woman spoke saying if this goes ahead we will never see rabbits hopping in the fields or birds singing in the trees and bushes again.Needless to say the scheme was rejected.

I thought I read that the U23 would still play at Whetstone/KP when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 I don't know what they're moaning about, I'd be chuffed if the club built the new training ground near me. There can only be about 150 people going there every day on average, probably similar numbers to the golf club that was already there I'd imagine? Some people would moan about having to bend down if they found a £50 note at their feet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine that the entire complex is going to have a full attendance every week, day in day out. The stand will probably only be full on the rare occasion.

It will have almost zero impact on their lives. Anyone would think Alton Towers were relocating the way they're going on. I don't really see the difference if it was a golf club or football training facilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramadaone Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 The idea of dealing with the foul water on site surely wasn't the best idea anyway ? Guess the nearest main is in the village so no doubt cost would have come into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammie82uk Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 13 hours ago, davieG said: Bigger ? By what measure? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2862372/Manchester-City-reveal-new-200m-Etihad-Campus-finest-training-facility-world.html This is the statement in the letter Scale and Dominance I believe the scale of the proposed development is unnecessarily large – driven by what can be afforded rather than what is required. I note that Manchester City – a far larger club in terms of turnover, squad and fan base has a training ground of only 80 acresiii in an urban setting. The Public Benefits Statement cites Derby County Football club as a similar proposal which has been approved, yet it was reported by the BBC that “[Planning] Officers recommended the proposals be refused”. I also note that the Derby County facility is around half the size of this proposal. I object to the scale of the proposed development, which is demonstrably out of proportion with the size of training grounds used by other clubs cited in the proposals, and to the dominance and the impact of the proposed site and it’s usage on the immediate area.
