Shocked !!! New Training Facility

[aliakbanrafsanjali]

I popped over to visit my parents in Lancing at the weekend and my Dad said drive around Barfield park on my way home and look at what has been put up to surround the new Albion training complex.
They have fitted a huge fence around the site that towers above the bungalows! Now as a local resident I was in favour of this proposal but am now feeling a little guilty for supporting it due to the impact on these poor residents, they have gone from backing on to open fields to beeing over shadowed by this huge fence!
Me, my dad and my son are all season ticket holders and die hard Albion fans. But I am just putting it out there, that I feel a bit guilty! Also we see BHA snappy's pics of how the building progress is going inside (which looks great) but not what the impact is on the residents surrounding it!

Not sure what the problem is, all building sites put big fences up. Keeps the kids out.

 

[LamieRobertson]

How big is huge? is it boarding or close board with arris rails? A lot of New developments are surrounded by structures whilst building goes on.. and then removed

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

The fence isn't permanent and what building site doesn't look like a sh*#hole. Nothing to see here move along.

Better then the houses to the north whose houses will in the future back out on to a new housing estate.

If it's a temporary one then get over it.

 

[Insel affe]

In my opinion they should put a bloody big fence all the way around Lancing.

 

[ees complicated no?]

I'd rather no criminal damage caused whilst it's being built, they're only up temporary.

it will stay - to stop zoom lenses etc.....

I don't think that is the idea!

Are you talking about the perfectly legal, six foot high wooden fence that most of us have in our back gardens, that appears to mark the boundary around most of the site?

Not that small, but very permanent, but also requested in the planning discussions, because the residents wanted protection from noise, light and Ashley Barnes's shooting..

lol. I understand them wanting to keep the Mash Barn Estate lot out - all the balls and cones would be nicked, and empty Lambert and Butler fag packets everywhere.

Saying that, training time clashes with Jeremy Kyle so wouldn't be an issue.

So in summary it's there because the residents requested it. Thread closed!

Heavens to mergatroid a tall fence round a building site. Barber out

OP says that the 6ft fence towers over Lancing's bungalows. Are Lancing people very small?

Fantastic.

 

[Icy Gull]

Improves the area I'd have thought

Looks to me like it's a standard 2m high close boarded fence with a mesh fence above, giving the neighbouring properties protection from noise and stray balls.

Any fence over 2m high needs to be given planning consent and I would imagine that the specific design of the fence was a pre-commencement condition that has to be approved before any work is undertaken. The height of the fences must have been on the original application drawings and given that all neighbouring land owners have the opportunity to raise concerns/issues with the application, they had their opportunity to comment on the fence before consent was given.

It's been approved through a legal process and constructed in accordance with the approved details. it won't be changed unless the Albion want to change it.
