I'll be in The Lake District, probably climbing Skiddaw.

Ok, it's exciting that we're finally making a bit of progress, but it also underlines how far backwards we have gone over the last 5 odd years, i.e. we're back to public consultation events before even applying for planning permission. We really are back to square one. However, at least there is light at the end of the tunnel now.

Truthfully, I really don't know what to say to this. I'm probably going to have to go along and have a look.

The key point is the scheme has now a partner/funder for who the scheme itself is the sole purpose and their core business - hence more likely to happen.

Wonder if my entry for the 'name the road' competition that was launched years ago is still in with a shout? I'm going to ask when I go along.

We need answers!!!

Feel slightly sad that the sperm has gone.

The great news is that British Land plc are involved and are fully committed. The bad news is it's still a long way off because getting Southend Council and government approval will be very difficult, and may spark another public inquiry. This will still run and run.

Wouldn't think a company as successful as BL would be getting involved if they didn't think this could get approval though.

Yes, I need to know as well. My suggestion was Ron's Bouffant Lane.

However I do feel that British Land are unlikely to let it drag any longer than necessary.
Ron tried but,for whatever the reason,, funds etc, he lacked to nous, ability or whatever, to get the momentum up, I think BL have what it takes, as long as they are allowed to do what they do best.

Finally the club admits that we're back to square one.

I will be absolutely amazed if they get approval for the plans being submitted.

One the plus you can now live IN the stadium. Literally a home game.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

So can we get excited now or what?

Are reputable and experienced firms like British Land known for randomly submitting pointless applications?

So the new plans are indeed like Orient, with flats in the corners of the ground. Shame it has gone back to the drawing board and my concern now is the project is just too big to get permission at local/government level as it is. This will take a very long time again to get past the red tape I think, with modifications needed.

Well I'm hopeful the company that manages £18.9 billion worth of Assets has more of an idea on what gets planning permission than you who manages most likely a 3-bed semi.

Well Ron Woodley for Southend Council has already said he is not happy with the new bigger plans, and the effect it will have on traffic and the High Street etc etc.
