I note the temporary training ground application expiry date is now 22 March. I seem to recall this was end of Feb previously
 
I wonder if RDC approved the permanent training ground. Nothing on their social media.
 
Does this now mean will see Ron, stan and maher with spades in their hands this summer or is it another false dawn?
 
I understand that following the completion of the legal agreement (section 106) the club must still await expiry of the Judicial Review period (statutory 6 weeks) but are not anticipating any challenges.

We are already at an advanced stage with the detailed design and then the tender (being supported and worked through by a team of 20 plus people) will follow.
 
If so that the club has to wait 6 weeks a judicial review .That takes the date to the April that Stan said the building should commence .
 
Just to clarify, this is the notice that I've received today on the planning decision being granted and all the details of what has now got the go ahead from SBC.

I would now suggest it is pretty much back in SUFC's court from here...

It sounds like it’s all systems go, so long as no judicial review pops up during the statutory six week period ending in April. Fingers crossed!
