This is fantastic news!!!!!

[East Preston Gull]

Just come back from holiday.

1. The two planning reports have basically been binned.
2. The only other sites are waterhall and sheepcote.(both no-no's)
3.We have been given permission to build a stadium in Brighton with a capacity of 22,000.
4.There is no possible challenge by nimby's once this enquiry is finished.
5.i believe this must all be tidied up within 6 wks.


Stand up if your going to falmer.

A straight yes would have been fantastic. This is just bloody frustrating.

A straight yes would have been fantastic. This is just bloody frustrating.

A straight yes would also have caused a year long delay.

Spot on mate, can't agree with number 5 though I think it will take the rest of the year, goverment moves as slow as Butters sometimes.

and DS a straight YES would have given the NIMBEYs chance to appeal they haven't got tht now !!

 

[Wilka]

I though the general opinion was that they wouldn't be able to afford to appeal though?

 

[East Preston Gull]

Maybe you are more accurate on time scales redland i think i was getting a bit carried away.

The Nimbys probably couldn't afford to but wasn't it Lewes DC who would have ?

if all thats correct all getting to confusing now

A straight yes would have meant months of legal c**p in the high courts fighting out a judicial review. A judicial review would be based on whether the ODPM made the correct decision based on the inspectors findings and not where the best place to build a new stadium is which is what we now have. Based on the fact that 2 inspectors went against the plan then the chances of the NIMBYs winning a judicial review would have been high and that would have left the club in a right mess. Going through the courst would also have cost the club a lot more money and take longer than the new inquiry will.

In time I hope we will be able to look back at this and think what a fantastic decision Prescott made despite the weight of evidence that should have just meant a straight NO decision by Prescott.

I don't think a judicial review questions the decision the DPM makes, just whether he has acted within the law in making his decision. He is allowed to disagree with his inspectors' reports on matters of opinion.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Having read the letters that Falmer Parish Council sent to the ODPM in April and June this year, I think their application for a Judicial Review would have been based on the fact that the Albion submitted further representations about alternative sites that hadn't been subject to cross-examination by the opponents at an Inquiry.

 

[Life After Bobby]

judicial review looks at whether the correct process was followed in making the decision, including whether it could have been unduly influenced.

therefore augmenting the decision making process furher protects the decision from a jr

will not give us a chance either

 

[The Magician]

Basically it's great news. Prescott is a hero for ignoring both planning reports, and that's down to us fans.

Magic!

Do you remember when this site was full of people discussing football? We discussed center-backs not Reference Backs. Now if you say 4-4-2 people think it's some sort of obscure Planning Regulation.
