Papahet Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Reckon Darren Wassall will be pissed more than anyone, anyone see his speech on these plans?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Will probably take a few months to draw up revised plans. I can't imagine this never being done, but the delays will be irritating to many a the club. Lots of time will have gone into the preparing for the beginning of the expansion work.

Carl Sagan Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If they're recommending refusal, can that recommendation be overturned or is that it for the plans in their current state? In other places (Brighton comes to mind, and Charlton I think), fans of the clubs formed a political group to support their club and ousted those Councillors who blocked planning requests at the following election. Then the plans were voted through to the benefit of club and community. It seems unwise and strangely unsupportive of a local institution for Erewash to refuse this and I hope there will be a vociferous campaign from supporters to get the decision or the Councillors overturned!

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 And the planning and architecture consultants go Ker-ching......revised plans and go again. And yup, I'm sure housing would have been rubber stamped. I don't suspect forest fans so much as a "football is ghastly brigade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recommendation can be overturned on the night by the committee. Doesn't happen too often when recommended to refuse but you never know. If you do live in Erewash and it would impact on your vote, or wanted to get that kind of campaign going, certainly it is possible to look at who the Planning Committee members are (.http://moderngov.erewash.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=106) and then, if any of them represent you (stick your postcode in at https://www.writetothem.com/ to find out) email them to tell them how important it is that they vote to approve.

rynny Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 When I was listening to Radio Derby earlier I am sure they said that Moor Farm was rejected at the beginning but we got the government to over turn the decision and could do the same again.

Duracell Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This is precisely the same kind of thinking that results in Silverstone using shitty temporary grandstands for a supposed world-class venue. Northants County Council won't let them build proper ones. Short-sighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 So the people of Oakwood are up in arms about building on green belt land? I remember the fields before toy town was built, oh the irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryram Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 What a joke, surely local councils should be supporting a local club trying to improve. No doubt when developers submit plans for housing they accompany a nice brown envelope with some notes in. Maybe Mel should adopt this approach.

GeneralRam Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 What's wrong with us using St Georges Park? Instead of spending money on the academy we have a state of the art facility on our doorstep. Moor farm isn't exactly shabby as it is anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Its apparently not actually up to scratch any more. The academy plans were to produce a better facility than what the England squads have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyHudson Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I live in Oakwood and go passed Moor Farm most days. The undeveloped fields on either side of the complex are terrible. Overgrown weeds, fences falling down and completely neglected. If the council squash the redevelopment plans, I'd like to know what they have in mind for the land instead as, in its current state it looks like a dump.

Boycie Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Bloody nimby snobs. think about the jobs created. i know there's a few big houses up that main road past the entrance and no doubt some have friends in high places. but they're up against Mel Morris, saviour of the universe. i think we know the outcome. come on Mel! Just buy all them houses and stick the young academy lads in them. if they're that upset about the development they'll want to sell up no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, they own the two houses either side of their entrance driveway and rent them out for money - I used to live in one of them a couple of years ago.
