I meant that I don't remember any opposition to the Freeman's Wharf development. Hopefully there won't be much opposition to the latest upgrade plans either (wishful thinking) I would expect those Park n Rides schemes to be revisted when over 40,000 will be heading in and out of the new KP. Sorry I misunderstood yeah I can't imagine too much but travel will always bring out a few protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastik Man Posted 4 September 2018 Share Posted 4 September 2018 6 hours ago, davieG said: The club wanted to turn Filbert St by 90 degrees and create a new big stand to replace the North Stand and to redevelop the East Stand The residents on Burnmoor St and Filbert St set up a protest group with the help of a local councillor Mary Draycott, who always seemed to be on LCFCs back calling themselves Off-side and got the council to reject the plan. LCFc then put in plans to build a 40k seater stadium with hotel and retail on land next to Bede Island (now houses) Again Mary Draycott organised the residents on Western Road which backs up to the rear of this land albeit with the Great Central way in between and again got the plans thrown out. We were then fortunate that Morrison's Supermarket failed to get their planned shop built on the current KP stadium plot and LCFC nipped in a got permission to build the KP. Well that was more or less how it went. 4 hours ago, Spudulike said: Did the Bede Island planning application actually get refused ?? I think I remember the stadium plan was downgraded from 40k to 32k to placate some of the opposition but ultimately failed when the City directors had a fall out with the developers, Goldwing?? Other potential sites (somewhere around Fosse Park locality??) were being sought out when the old Powergen land became available following a ruling by the House of Lords (something relating to a covenant about the land only being available for sporting and recreational use to ward off housing and supermarket developers ... also ruling out retail units the club wanted to include). I don't remember much, if any, local opposition to the plan (although I recall holdup about the effect the floodlights would have on bats!). The revised 32k seater stadium design was retained and is what we have now on Freeman's Wharf, I think. That explains why KP appears to be backward with the front at the back. It wasn't designed with it's eventual plot in mind. I don't think Offside had much real effect on the Planning Application for the Bede Island stadium, though I did manage to reduce the asking price on my first house, on Western Road ? The reason the stadium didn't happen was because the application was called in by the government, and that was because of the retail element in the plans. At the time Planning Policy was put in place to reduce additional retail developments outside of city centres, and Bede Island was considered as such. A real shame as the plans for that stadium were superior to the smaller KP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are these NIMBYs on about? I’ve just been leaked this fax, and the development is clearly nothing to worry about. Mr Chairman, May I offer the latest planning updates from our Super Loud Academy Ground Project Integration Team. I am pleased to report, the heliport will indeed accommodate simultaneous operations of up to six jet-powered craft. We will upsize all above-ground fuel storage tanks to 1,000kl to ensure adequate supplies at all times. The 30m outdoor movie screen to show LCFC TV highlights 24/7 is a wonderful idea. We’re on it. And the fleet of permanently tethered, crown-shaped King Power blimps will make an unparalleled branding statement. I’ve assigned Jonathan to begin blowing them up at once, as the PM estimates it will take one person 18.5 months to inflate two dozen units. That should keep him out of harm’s way LOL! Bids are in for the 14-acre campsite for impoverished African footballers and their families. They were well under estimates and we will be able to expand this feature to 20 acres. Replacing the native vegetation perimeter with a picket of 50 camp latrines should make up the remaining cost. I hope to be able to offer positive news about the Thai “hostesses” for the golf course in my next report.

Yes, I remember it being called in which was inevitable given that Morrisons were also about to be denied permission for a retail unit on Freeman's Wharf. I don't think the SoS even had to make a decision given the fallout between the club and Goldwing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vlad the Fox Posted 5 September 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 5 September 2018 I've heard there will be a number of huge warehouse built to store all the fags, perfume and toblerones for their duty free stores. These will be policed by an army of Eastern Europeans that will be housed in a towerblock, offering stunning views of the Leicestershire countryside. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
