CosbehFox Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 That National Grid land might require investigative digs and land remediation checks. Which in effect could alter the design hence no planning application. Club will want to avoid the stand off like the highways problem at Seagrave.

They'll need to allow time for those objections, not sure what's considered 'normal' but the Council themselves often put plans out that are just rubber stamping jobs but are then put out for public consultation like St Margaret's Bus Station rebuild.

Already one of the best bus stations in the country, it has had a major programme of refurbishment and modernisation in 2006. Although the first bit sounds a bit of a stretch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always need to be careful excavating around the city as they found during the High Cross development and St Margaret's bus station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarehamFox Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 St. James Park is one of the grounds I hope we don't copy. Some of it is KP and some of it is high rise ugly, hope we make the KP more aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in the North Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 (edited) A French Ligue 1 Club RC Strasbourg are looking expanding a side of their ground along with adding a host of retail/hospitality opportunities. They are looking at increasing their capacity by 6,000 odd. They have a very similar stadium layout to us (smaller though) and have similar expansion requirements. KSS also happen to be one of the architects tendering for the work which Populous won. Just thought it was a good example of what our club is/could be looking for. Especially as the last video has a stadium expansion slightly similar to the leaked plans. This was the KSS design And another example Edited 13 January 2021 by Fox in the North 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any more, but just going off what people have said in this thread, I think the 48k plan is one possible option. I think the artist's impressions were of an earlier design that won't be used, as the plan has apparently since changed - maybe to the 48k one. I think it's probably unlikely to be that much, but you never know. The artist's impressions we got matched the leaked plan with the arena and v-shaped hotel which said the stadium would have 40k+. I'm guessing it will be somewhere between 40k and 48k. Not very helpful, I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
