The north isn't hindered by the new part. It's the roof that causes the problem. You can't build higher without removing it.

The issue with the west is planning permission with the houses behind.
It's a big footprint with a lot of possibilities if they can solve it.

I know they are working on it but don't know the range of what the want to do. They've discussed a few different ideas.

Could the PP be assisted with the fact that once upon a time a stand, quite a big one, if I recall, was there previously, for a lot of years.

I thought that but they say it's still going to be a problem.
No idea what that problem would be though, in terms of hight or length etc.

I walked past this morning with the dog, looking from the outside of the north stand. If that was extended back, and was to incorporate new turnstiles, there could be works required too, to the boubdary wall, which could impact use of that ginnell

Who says? Can’t see planning being a problem.

Think eventually the North Stand will have another block of terrace at the rear and a new roof with refreshment facilities at both corners.
