Champion Hill: Proposed Ground Redevelopment

Not concerned with the fireworks but the comment about “final decision” seems incongruous with the results of the planning committee last year...

Seeing as they were lying about actual fireworks I'd say I wouldn't believe too much what that account posts.
 
Given the stress on the current ground with 3,400 in it, the new stadium is going to be under even more pressure unless the design is adapted to include more facilities - food, drink and toilets; more vantage points; and more space in general for moving around. Which will be tricky unless the overall footprint can be enlarged.
 
I like how it's their beautiful and pollution free astro turf. Seeing as it doesn't belong to them and is situated in Southwark, an inner London borough
 
Not sure if this is of any significance?

8 Mar 2022GAZ1First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off
 
"compulsory strike-off" means the company is going to be removed from companies house list. On its own it doesn't mean much, beacuse it could just mean that the interesets and assets of Meadow Residential have been moved to another company. Or it could mean they're fucked and are a paper shell.
 
It could just be that they're late filing their accounts. A First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off is basically a warning that they need to do something about their late filing; it doesn't necessarily mean they're in financial difficulty.

Doesn't instil a sense of confidence in the competency of the company though, does it?
 
Would hazard a guess that this is Meadow Residential LLP taking advantage of the Bounceback Loan scheme at the taxpayers expense

Chairman's programme notes on the judicial review of the decision to agree planning permission for the new stadium. Long threatened, but worrying nonetheless.



This bit was embarrassing tbf.

I believe the bringing of this claim is an insult to what a judicial review is designed to protect. A judicial review is explicitly not there to give people who want to argue that the decision was incorrect a second bite of the cherry, it is there to protect people from an abuse of power. At the end of the planning committee meeting the individual in question made it clear that they thought the decision to approve was incorrect. That is why I believe this is an abuse of the system, despite having their voice heard over and over again none of the concerns they raised were about whether the council had followed the correct process, had they done so then I would have an ounce of respect for this action. Their complaints after the vote were based solely on disagreeing with the decision taken which is not what a judicial review is intended to defend. Presumably they are seeking a judicial review because it is the only instrument they could find to challenge the decision they disagree with and so we look forward to hearing what arguments can be concocted after the fact.

How worried should we be? This was a lengthy and complex process and so there is a risk that if enough lawyers examine every step, document and statement over the three years it took they can find one technicality on which to have the decision cancelled and sent back to be taken again. It is the legal equivalent of being 5-0 up with a minute to go and the opposition announces they are changing the rules to ‘next goal wins’.
As a calmer man than me once said ‘You've won it once. Now you'll have to go out there and win it again.’
 
The "person" he's referring to is Peter John presumably.

Judicial Review is increasingly used in planning decisions, by people who wish to delay. Mais House in Sydenham was one (successful) such. Friends of Greendale have been threatening this for a while. Quite within their rights to do so. Even if it's a pain in the arse. Given the amount of discussion and scrutiny the decision was subject to, it does rankle rather. The best they can hope for I suppose is to delay the inevitable. But who knows. Not cheap to bring a JR. Maybe they have someone doing it pro bono.
