I'd put money on a deferred decision and a site visit by the committee though. That's exactly what happened with the Stanmer Park Access Road application - for one metre of widening FFS!
Lord Bracknell
On fire
I can't see how a site visit would help make the decision. There's nothing to see. The Stanmer Park Access Road exists already. I guess a visit proved to the Committee that it's not wide enough.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!

Neither can I but I thought at the first Stanmer Park Access Road meeting that the councillors only voted for a visit purely because they felt they needed to be seen there, to have fully considered the implications

Lord B. Is this the application which, to the best of your knowledge, the planning officers are recommending approval?
Off topic i know but...When they say Falmer will be built three storeys down,How big is a storey? ta.
The Large One
Who's Next?
Not sure. The drawings submitted to the City Council ought to tell you, but I'd have said about eight or nine feet.
Ok ta.Since it's below ground level is it more likely to freeze in winter months?

3.0m in a commercial use building.
What so 9.0m down?
The Large One
Who's Next?
I don't think three storeys will be underground. It's more that the stadium will be sitting on a 'base' about 30 or 40ft deeper than were the field is at now - hence the issue of the 22,000 lorry loads of spoil also in the planning application.

Further ferreting (I must be bored) indicates that the planning officers' recommendation is "Minded to Grant".

Still "under consideration" on the councils planning page!
I like this bit, the whole scheme could rest upon eradicating the risk of getting your bike nicked...

the integrated provision of suitable secure bicycle parking facilities has
been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority
and the approved scheme has been fully implemented.

This and many of the other 50+ condititions proposed can also be found in the 2007 approval letter from the Secretary of State and that reads like something written by Tolstoy. I guess BHCC are just repeating them to ensure that there's no misunderstanding.
