Diego_Sideburns Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 http://planningpa.ol...DHA_DCAPR_47909 OMBC Plans 14th Feb. £19,365 fees up front. Application Received Wed 03 Oct 2012 This is the first time the Application has appeared in the Council's records. Although the Application is dated last October, the necessary plans and correspondence are dated today. The consultation process with the NIMBYS and the statutory bodies has still to take place. Any letters submitted are open to be viewed and copied by the applicant or other members of the public and as such cannot be treated as confidential or kept private. This is to conform with the requirements of Section 100(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. The Council takes into account all written representations it receives, but it can only make its decision on planning grounds. By law, certain matters must be considered. This is not a definitive list but they include: Local Planning Policies - the Oldham Unitary Development Plan (UDP) sets out the Council's planning policies Government Advice as set out in circulars, planning policy guidance notes/statements (PPGs/PPSs) and Regional planning guidance Comments from neighbours Comments from consultees. The Council can only take into account those comments that are directly relevant to the planning process such as: Loss of amenity Privacy Outlook Traffic issues Noise Nuisance. Matters that cannot be taken into account include: Reduction in property values Loss of views Private rights of way Ownership matters Disturbance during construction. Although we've seen all this before, and had many false dawns, this has to be viewed as the big step forward we've been waiting for towards securing the Club's future.

Microcuts Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I would normally read '2014 season' to mean 2013/14. Unrealistic? Still, this is a necessary step and one we have been waiting for. I'm sure Corney and the club have been as frustrated as we have by the delay, but the ball is now officially rolling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Diego a far more Professional launch. All the planning consultations done with Mark Ollerenshaw from October so should be no hidden pitfalls. Well dome OMBC so far. I think the council have realised that the town needs a professional football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If anyone wants to prepare a letter of support I can whisk up a few planning considerations to throw in (as a planner) to support this kind of development. We can all then submit the same letter as our support to the scheme. Having a quick look over the documents doesn't look like any major issues will arise. Hopefully will be ok considering the larger stand got permission 5 years ago. Lets just hope the NIMBYs stay silent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no delays the decision (which will be by planning committe) should be on the 10th May. If there are no pre-commencement conditions construction could start that as soon as the decision notice is signed. If there are conditions to discharge then this can take another 8 weeks.

oafcprozac Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'll be composing my letter of support over the weekend. I suggest those of us that really do have the club's long term survival at heart do the same…. The NIMBYS won't sit on their hands, let's be pro-active and not be complacent.

al_bro Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It means when we get promotion Next season we will have a 4 sides stadium for our championship campaign! If we were to get promotion we wouldn't last long. Gates won;t support a Championship club here unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 without knowing too much about planning applications, the club look like they've done everything to avoid the failures of last time. it's exactly what we need and it will push us to go on and redevelop BP if it's successful. won't believe it until i see it but you can't fault Corney or the club for trying and wanting to do good for the club.

AndyGortonsMatches Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 2,500? - Isnt that less the Lookers number of seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinodriscoll Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 im not sure if it is but it does contain alot more in regards to non match day revenue which is honestly more vital to the club than matching what the lookers held.

Latics_Fanatic Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If we were to get promotion we wouldn't last long. Gates won;t support a Championship club here unfortunately. Let's be positive. Attitudes like that will keep us constrained in league 1 forever. Blackpool got to the PL with a 16,000 seater, 3-sided stadium.

slystallone Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Cool. It looks good, not as bad the IKEA flat pack I was expecting. The non-matchday facilities are vital to us; and i'm glad they're still in there. Hopefully - fingers crossed massively - this all goes through smoothly. For those in the know - where and who to do we send our emails of support for the scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If we were to get promotion we wouldn't last long. Gates won;t support a Championship club here unfortunately. It would give us a capacity of 13k which if we sold out would be more than the average attendance of some championship teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 How many do we reckon the new stand will bring to the club in terms of attendance if we stay in this league when it's ready? Obviously performances on the pitch matter most but I'm sure there will be a considerable amount that don't come because the ground is an eyesore.
