Lancing NIMBYs

They do have a very weak argument...

Save Our Gap

Bunch of self-obsessed NIMBYs on that website. Albion's training ground will bloody well enhance the area 1000%

It's amazing how easy it is for a few people with time on their hands to make it seem like there's general uproar when there really isn't, and create a nuisance of themselves. That site must have the same 10 people posting more and more irate messages about issues they know very little about, they would be better off trying to engage with BHAFC and Adur rather than slur them at any turn.

I actually love the picture of the green and pleasant land with Lancing College in the background. Make's it look idyllic, which it ain't!

My parents live close to the site and all I can remember is pretty dense scrub that's difficult to traverse unless you stick to the pathway worn through the site and also a load or rubbish that's just seemingly been dumped there.

Also AFAIK grass snakes, lizards and slow worms are considered common in the UK and do not require a licence to remove (although you would get in trouble if you purposefully harmed them) pretty sure [MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] is an ecologist and could confirm.

What a bunch of wankers. They refused to moderate my comment on there, due to it not being agreeable to their views!!!

There will be an ecology survey with the planning application which will have to contain either a mitigation or relocation strategy.
I wonder what the strategy for badgers will be now..

One of their arguments - "There is also the possibility of offensive language, which would be audible in an area with many young children"

Laughable. Offensive language can already be heard there, mainly from these young children.

I live very close, the area is just scrub land. Used to be a PYO strawberry farm, years ago.

As I mentioned in a different thread, it just appears to be used by dog walkers who can't be bothered to walk the extra 5 minutes over to lancing manor, where there is miles of fields & woodlands to roam.

BTW:- that video is hilarious

Don't know why they're moaning north lancing is nice but the rest of lancing might as well be flattened and built again anyway a training ground would make it a better place don't know why the lancing pikeys are making so much fuss

 

[fire&skill]

They appear to have some big names in the film directorial world spearheading their campaign

Oh NO!!!!!! Not the shouts, whistles and cheers!!!! Changed my mind after seeing that. The Albion can spin, I want to see scrubland and scrubland only!!!!!

Oh and Pikey's. Pikey's with guns and pitbulls. We haven't got enough Pikeys round here, so it would be handy to have some living there, permanently

The whole argument they have is that the land was going to be used for local kids... to play FOOTBALL with shouting and whistles!

 

[BensGrandad]

When is the Planning Permission Application due to be heard.

 

[SeagullSongs]

The picture they show is irrelevant! That side of the road will not be touched by BHA so will remain 'idyllic', we just want to put a training academy in a good-for-nothing cornfield.

They have spelt Countryside wrong on the Banner at the top page it says Coutryside. Muppets

This is roughly correct although extensive consultation with Natural England would probable be needed (see here: http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/Images/wlmsfaqs_tcm6-3859.pdf). I'm not an ecologist by the way, but I am an environmental consultant.

This. Sometimes reptiles can be "encouraged" to move elsewhere by mowing, for example.

Oh well if it can't be turned into a nice green field with a few football pitches attractive building housing sportsman youth & kids
Playing sports it can always be turned into massive ALDI , Halfords , Matalan with hundreds of cars coming & going all day to yet another concrete, Tarmac, cladded warehouses shopping outlet

 

[Waynflete]

Out of interest, is it inaccurate that without the BHA application the site was due to be kept in public ownership and turned into public access football pitches?

Because if that's right I can understand their objection tbh.
