I really want the stoke poges move to hurry up so I can get a season ticket and spent most of my saturdays watching my home town. I really can't be asked spending £30 to watch Watford. Rather buy a season ticket to watch my home town, that way the money is landing in good hands.

 

So whats the situation with the stadium at the moment? any big steps taken recently?

 

Also has anything else come from the mysterious story about the old Wexham Park Stadium?

This is the latest mentioned in the locals just the other day.

 

http://www.sloughobs...or-new-stadium/

 

 

After the application has been approved at a council planning committee meeting there is a statutory six month period for possible objections to be made to the secretary of state. If any objections are made they can take years to resolve.

 

Also, building a stadium in partnership with a local council is the preferred method if a club is seeking funding from the football foundation. A grant of £500,000 seems highly ambitious IMO.

"Can planning permission be overturned?

 

 

There is no third party right of appeal in England and Wales. Only the applicant can make an appeal against a granted planning application.

 

This means you cannot appeal a planning application decision which you have not submitted yourself." Taken from the Government Planning Portal. I think that this means that you can appeal against refusal, or against conditions imposed on a granted application.

 

 

 

From Havant Council

"When can I start work?

 

You may start your work as soon as you have received your approval notice and complied with any conditions imposed by the Council." This would mean full, not outline, planning permission.

 

 

I would point out that I know little about planning though. My guess is that any significant delay would occur because there are various routes that planning permission can take.

Outline planning consent is given at a properly convened council meeting, full consent is only appropriate after the statutory six month period for possible objections has lapsed, and all legal documentation has been signed by the local authority and the applicant.

 

One massive problem for any football club hoping to build a new stadium is prospective neighbours are rarely supportive of the project because of perceived problems relating to noise, traffic, vandalism, and light pollution from the floodlights. Once all those problems have been overcome the even more difficult task starts, which is finding the money to make the dream a reality.

 

I wish Slough Town all the luck in the world as I know from experience how hard it is for a non league club in these troubled times.

Schools can be very supportive if there's something in it for them. The use of training facilities and coaches, the stadium itself for school matches, and maybe a place on the club committee for a member of staff are things that will convince the school that the club is serious about becoming a valued part of the community. Take the school for granted and they can become very powerful enemies.

Not correct. There is no statuatory six month period. Outline planning permission (when needed), usually lasts for 3 years, and a full application can be put in at any time in the 3 years.

 

From Slough Council's own advice leaflet on planning objections.

 

"

"17. What happens after the decision is made?

The applicant/agent will be sent the notice of decision. Objectors/supporters will be sent a letter outlining the decision. Where an application has been refused, the applicant can appeal to the ....

......Planning Inspectorate. You will be advised of any such appeal, your original comments will be forwarded to the Inspectorate and you will be asked for any further comments. Where an application has been granted, there is no opportunity for objectors to appeal.

It was most definitely the case with Romford a few years ago. The 3 years is I believe the amount of time you have to start, or possibly complete the project before the consent runs out of time.

What's stopping Adil buying a season ticket already? If travels to Watford, Beaconsfield is nearer and cheaper. Why have to wait to ground in Slough is ready!

oh adil if you read the article correctly you will have spotted a small mistake that the "local reporter" made with his knowledge of the local town, the new ground will be in stoke road opposite the cemetary, not in farnham road which is the present and new location for arbour vale school.

oh i didn't even realise that mistake lol. Thank god it's going to be oposite the cemetary, it's only a 2min walk from my house :)

something simular happened to Watford in June, the 3 years ran out and they had to extend it by another 3 years, i believe this only takes a few weeks to be finalised.

To come back to your point Grandad

 

I think a lot of people in Slough are struggling to get to games because you have to drive to get there unless you trust the awful 74 bus that doesnt always stop when you ask it to.

 

Getting to Watford is easy on train then plenty of links for transport to the ground.

 

When we are back in Slough we will see a lot more youth coming to games
