In laymens terms

[Simster]

Serious question.


WTF is going on with Falmer?

What are we actually waiting for?

What are we actually waiting for?

A large, fabulous and new stadium.



Hope that helps...

 

[See-Goals]

We need to agree on the right shade of blue for the corner flags.

Then its all systems go.

 

[Simster]

So no-one actually knows then. You see, I was under the impression we were waiting on fat John to simply say "No I'm not changing my mind" and the JCBs would move in.

Clearly, that aint so.

 

[Scoffers]

why not try using the search option

 

[Commander]

why not try using the search option

yeah type in Falmer and hit search. That should clear a few things up quickly.

We are waiting for the High Court to refer the decision back to the Secretary of State, Ruth Kelly, because there is an error in the original decision letter regarding the "built up area" of Brighton and Hove. This will happen in December.

Ruth Kelly's department will then have to make a new decision based on reconsidering all the existing evidence, plus any additional evidence that the main players which to submit.

This could already have been under way, but apparently, reconsidering all the available evidence, plus new evidence, and making an entirely new decision isn't good enough for LDC, who would rather have the High Court force Ruth Kelly to do it, than for her to do it voluntarily - which would have avoided the waste of time and money needed in going there in the first place.

thanks very much. searching on "Falmer" is a nightmare on this site, but that is very helpful.

All the while the likes of curious orange are happy to type things up, it's not a problem.

We tend to get the same question asked every couple of weeks, that's all

And it'll be June 2007 before the next decision is made

 

[Curious Orange]

And it'll be June 2007 before the next decision is made

... and then LDC will moan about it (again), unless the good people of Lewes District have voted in a new set of Councillors...

Simple, we are not getting it !

We certainly wont get it with that type of attitude.

It's a fight, and with any fight you need a certain amount of belief, in this particular fight, you need a tremendous amount of fight, cash, patience, belief, steadfastness

To simply say that we wont get it plays into the hands of LDC

The fact is that there is no other site, and is our ONLY choice, and on that basis, we will NEVER give up the fight. Councils change personnel, BRIGHTON FANS LAST FOREVER

Re: Re: Re: In laymens terms

To be fair, how long have we waited so far?

Re: Re: Re: Re: In laymens terms

The length of time is immaterial in comparison to the actual process of us getting it. This thing isn't 'timed-out', and then you start again.

The reason we have waited so long is because these thing take so f***ing long, and Lewes are using every means at their disposal to delay. But they won't win because our resolve is stronger than theirs. Except Wookie's. Oh, and the fact that the government has already said we can have it and shows no signs of changing its mind.

In answer to your question, it's over five years since we put the planning application in.

We have no choice but to be patient, however frustrating it is. If you don't feel frustrated, then to me, it shows you don't really care enough about the project.

Spot on

I think we're all frustrated TLO, but what worries me is that you might be wrong. What if it isn't down to patience and resolve? What if the board gets pissed off, or runs out of money for appeals and planning applications? Because in the end, we all know that's what our opponents are hoping for...
