The Halliwell Jones is hidden by Tesco if you are viewing from behind Tesco! They are parallel facing the A49.

Who actually cares if it is visible? Function over form.

Its merely something some people like.

As for Wire. Drive down the A49 from the m62 and you cant really see the stadium until your right ontop of it, because its hidden by Tescos and the former Church.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Sun May 09, 2010 11:47 am  

On visiting the site yesterday i noticed a planning notice on a lampost near the stadium.

The planning notice is p/2010/0267 and concerns the developers wanting to be exempt from some of the preconditions before building the stadium. It was posted on 18th March this year The preconditions in question are 17, 18, 22, 23 and 60

These preconditions appear to be around travel and access arrangements to the site.

Its noticable that this request was withdrawn only a few days ago on the 4th May after discussions with planning officials.
I suspect this may in some way explain the delay with appointing a contractor

Langtree would therefore now appear to have to fullfill the original obligations before the contractors can be appointed.

This sentence on one of the letters is i feel pertinant

"The Applicant needs to let the contract for building the Stadium and Store urgently"

Ive had it confirmed, that my suspicions in an earlier post re Planning conditions not being met, are infact true.

There are something like 74 conditions that need to be fulfilled as part of planning approval.

As a result we wont see any stadium being built until the developers get round to satisfying all these conditions.

Examples of submissions required by planning include

Handling of soil resources
Waste management plan
Energy efficiency
Conservation management plan re the bottle shop
Disposal of foul water
Surface water regulation
Relocation of newts
Presence of badgers on site
Eradication of Japanese Knotweed
Tree protection plan
landscaping and planting plan
Closure of access points to site
Car parking contingency plan
Plan for emergency access link
Management of Tesco service yard
Matchday crowd movement plan during store trading hours
Widening of footway at Peasley cross lane
Highway improvement scheme on Linkway East
Construction of site access points
Detailed land stability study
Human health and environment risk assessment
Samples of construction materials
remediation strategy
project risk register

I hope somebody has relocated those newts by the end of the month otherwise nothing is going to happen until the "kids" are big enough to leave the pond.

Can we transfer the badgers, newts and the bottleshop to the bowling green behind the Wagon & Horses. It would stop them knocking the pub down at least.
