Where did you get the info? And surely there must be publicly accessible planning permission documents floating around for a building project like this?

[camffiti]

DC has seen no signs of us needing to expand capacity, but now maybe a good time for us to spruce up certain stands 

[steelcityowlsfan]

Interesting.

I would have said World Cup plans but that would surely cost more than 8 million.

Perhaps Mr C is doing it stages in line with team progression

No point having a cracking stadium in the championship if it's at the teams expense. This was a mistake made by some previous regimes.

Potentially closing our west stand in our 150th birthday year ? - doesn't sound right to me..

[Ellis Rimmer]

All it needs is a lick of paint, give a few kids a score to wash presto off of the west stand roof, and get Mrs Chansiri out weeding the banks around the kop.

Doctors surgery obviously for Hutch.

So?

Link?

So?

So what ?

[ohgoditsjames]

Having experience in the engineering field and all that goes on in order for projects to take place, it reads somewhat to how you would expect. Not sure why someone "faking" it would go to this much effort to be honest.

Not sure how confidential it is or if indeed it's correct at all...Someone I know is in the trade and has stumbled across it.

[parkerowl]

Very interesting.

[ohgoditsjames]

I work for Yorkshire Electricity (now called Northern Powergrid) Proposals and Schemes are readily available, I see no reason why it'd be any different in the civil engineering and construction area.

[fatzooma]

Link?

There isn't one directly.

It's from an online data base that is linked to all the national planning offices called Glennigan it's related to the construction industry, architects, planning main contractors etc.

[Captain Sl-OWL-ly]

Not saying this is a fake call, infact it looks like something we could really do with, it's just that estimated timing ?

Starting December this year with completion not until early 2018, our Birthday (if I'm not wrong) is September 2017, right in the middle of this timing, I would have thought DC would have wanted to get the worlds press in for the celebrations as much as possible, not sure he'd be happy for them to see a building site..

[Ever the pessimist]

Could it not be merely renewing existing some sort of permission or whatever from the world cup bid. LIke the truffle snufflers have done for their extension? 

 

I have very little understanding of this kind of stuff so be kind when pointing out how wrong I am.

We've already got planning permission for the training ground stuff but nothing on the planning portal about West Stand.

[matty1968]

Isnt this plans for work at the training ground, that's what the address given for the location of the work seems to suggest

[Guest _Ibbo_]

The start and end date are guidelines.... Could be much quicker.
