doesnt stop the sniping!
Indeed, and a tower block is a very good vantage point!

I'll be shocked if this is approved. Ron is pushing his luck with this.
That said, hasn't there been a relatively recent change in planning legislation which favours developers trying to build new homes?
this is from 2 days ago. in short, yes.

Don't think the Echo picked this up, but reading through the application it seems they hope to submit a full planning application in December.
The whole project is now approx 50% bigger than it was proposed previously, with even more focus on the retail/leisure side (shock)....I can see the Council dragging their heels on this now and even if they give it the green light, it will certainly go to Government level. Expect this to take a long time to get agreed (if it even does)
I think the whole thing is now far too big and out of keeping with the area, bearing in mind this is green belt land that is meant to be for sporting use. Plus the impacts on the immediate area/high street are now just too large for it to be given backing by SBC/Government in my opinion. The road infastructure cannot cope as it is in this area. The objections from local residents/businesses on Sutton Road/Eastern Ave/High Street will be huge and I don't blame them to be fair. I certainly wouldn't want a Bas Vegas 2.0 on my door step. I would expect house prices to drop a fair bit in the immediate vicinity if it gets approved.
Which year will this December be? Sick of being fed these false starts all the time. The first time I marched down Vic Ave celebrating planning permission, I still had all my hair and it wasn't grey. The next time it happens I'll probably need pall bearers.
Won't 13 storeys affect the airport in any way? I know it's not as busy as Stansted, but if stacking was required etc.
Spot on Harry,Fed up late spring etc we've heard it all before.As for tower blocks can't see it unless this answers the council's targets from central government.Really am depressed that a lot of us will be lucky to ever see a new ground.Now thinking I would rather see Roots Hall updated,and Fossetts development minus ground financing the upgrading of the hallWhich year will this December be?
