Just received a letter regarding FF, thought I'd post it up as it's open to all.

Notice of Application for Planning Permission

I give notice that an application for planning permission has been submitted by Southend United Football Club at teh above address. A description of the proposed development is also summarised and you are advised to inspect the plans.

Members of the public may inspect copies of the application, plans and any other documents submitted with it at the Customer Contact Centre, Ground Floor, Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, on weekdays between 8.45am and 5.00pm. Plans and application informationare also available to view via the PublicAccess for Planning service within the Council website at www.southend.gov.uk.

Anyone wishing to make representations about this application should write to me by 18th August 2009. All letters of representation will be open to the public (and the applicant) and copies may be made available to them. In the event of an appeal they will be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate. Any written representation received in response to this notice will be fully considered although only those representations relating to the planning merits of the proposed development may influence the decision. The Council would like you to respond to this notice even if you have no objection to the application; however, you are advised that it is not possible to acknowledge representations, to renotify where plans are amended or to enter into detailed correspondence about the application. It may be that other occupiers/owners of your property or neighbours are unaware of the proposal so please show them this notice that I may have their comments. Anyone who makes a representation to me about the application will be informed of the Council's decision.

Some applicants, particularly those relating to major or controversial proposals, are decided at the Council's Development Control Committee where public speaking on planning applications is allowed. You may wish to discuss the process with your Ward Councillor.

Please quote the above Application Number in all correspondence. If you have any queries about the content of this notice please contact the case officer named above who will be pleased to assist.

Looks like full steam ahead then.
 
Looks like another reason to cause delay to me...

Last chance saloon for the NIMBY's to put up a fight...
 
So these are the revised plans to take in the Casino and Health Club?

Looks like work won't be starting on August 1st then...

Look's like it.

What concerns me more, is there is now another opportunity for the NIMBY's to slow things up further...
 
I got one as well, addressed to "The Occupier" which I thought was strange as I know I've been on their mailing for previous stuff in connection with this.

It's a formality really, other than people having a bit of a moan, I'm quite confident that SOSBC will pass the changes no bother at all.
 
Yep, i too got the letter today, and as Smiffy says i really hope it doesn't give the NIMBYs a chance to galvanize their protests again (forcing another Public Enquiry :unsure: :'()
 
Quite interesting reading through the associated documents.

Gives a real feel for the enormity of the project.

Looks like a few decent bars and a balcony bar as well, all outside the stadium.

The bit that surprised me is they are projecting somewhere in the region of 1,200 employees!!

Not really when you think the Morrisons is approx the size as Waitrose from looking at this plans, then add to it the Casino, Hotel and all the other outlets. Very easy to hit that figure.

I like that we can now see what is planned for those units. Seems that there will be indoor pitches being built in one of the units. And that Morrision will have a cafe alongside other restaurant outlets.

I think it is fairly common for plans to change in large developments. In fact, I'd say it probably happens more often than not. The question is, are the plans being substantially down-graded to a more modest proposal?

Incidentally, as this was phase two it shouldn't be a barrier to work having started on August 1st.

From what I was told, RM expects to break ground sometime August/September. Where did 1st August come from?
