Wouldn't need the council to veto planning permission, the residents commitee at the retirement village I know for certain are biding their time for any official announcement and also projects like that have to go to the Secretary of State for approval. This has always been a non starter.Went to watch Cov rugby again on Saturday and a great day it was once more. People keep talking about the City moving to the BPA including that moron Fisher of course but it would be a mammoth task to get that place ready for professional football. The crowd on Saturday was an admirable 1770 which is good for League 1 rugby but CCFC would undoubtedly, even in the National League attract upwards of 4000. There would be major issues surrounding seating, toilets, turnstiles, traffic flow, policing, preventing drinks being taken into viewing areas and segregation etc. It's a non starter and SISU as usual must know this, it is just another distraction to their main 'court room' ambitions and a chance to point the finger at the council when objections and planning regulations stifle progress. Jon Sharp at Cov rugby should distance himself from these cretins as it will end in tears for Cov rugby, just when they are making positive steps of their own without outside interference.
It expired a few years ago. detail in CCC planning portal.BPA already has planning permission for up to 12000 (although not sure when that expires). I'm not saying it is viable for the football club for lots of reasons, but the site is certainly capable of scaling up notably and has permission to do so.
Planning permission aside, it would take a fortune to upscale that site, something the owners of CCFC or CRFC do not have.BPA already has planning permission for up to 12000 (although not sure when that expires).

Nothing to do with whether council allows it or not that residential village will block it, that isn't a nursing home you know it's what it says and has retired professional types like solicitors etc I know for a fact they will object all the way to the Secretary of State.It will never happen because the Council never will let it happen.

Yes terrible mismanagement and alleged fraud with the previous administration...................however the current coaching set up is much more professional and the management is building steadily within financial constraints to maintain sustainability. CRFC missed the professional boat much the same as City just missed out on the Premier League gravy train.
It will never happen because the Council never will let it happen.
That's the council who doesn't have a final say? Secretary of state has the final say so not sure how you can say what you've said.
I would love to see that site modernised and expanded to take a capacity of perhaps 8,000 for Coventry rugby...............but 1, I don't think they have the funds or backers and 2, I don't want any input or influence from SISU. We have to remember that CRFC were all but bust just a few years back but have steadily built back up a sustainable club now.
Well they've tried once, haven't they, what with their change of lease tactics.

No, you're wrong. There is permission already to build a stadium up to 10k which CRFC apparently wants to do. The residents committee should have done their research before buying a flat next to a stadium.
It seems any council information or policies you just need to ask Jack.
Lives and breathes the place.
No there is not. A prior permission lapsed in 2008 a fresh application will be required.

Yes, but the fact that permission has been previously granted means that in essence it should be granted again.
The permission hasn't lapsed in the true sense of the word as it was partly discharged when the Arena was built.
It will never happen because CRFC won't deal with SISU and CCFC is skint. And CRFC want CCFC to pay for the improvements but not own any of it.It will never happen because the Council never will let it happen.
Don't disagree with you.Planning permission aside, it would take a fortune to upscale that site, something the owners of CCFC or CRFC do not have.
Yeah it'd be relatively easy for a temporary ground.Not that I think we'll end up there (although I said that about Northampton) I think people are overestimating the work required to bring the Butts up to L2 standard.
Whack a temporary stand opposite the current stand and you easily meet the capacity requirements. Similarly temporary turnstiles can be added.
So the permission was obtained before the multi-storey car park and retirement villageNo there is not. A prior permission lapsed in 2008 a fresh application will be required.

Timothy said he had investors didn't he for new stadium/BPA upgrade?Planning permission aside, it would take a fortune to upscale that site, something the owners of CCFC or CRFC do not have.
The permission hasn't lapsed, that lapse of permission only really applies if no construction is started. Considering there is a stadium in situ, that stadium will retain its right to expand. I don't even think your pals at the council dispute that, hence their meddling with trying to impose a condition that only rugby could be played there.
What will the rent be ?Timothy said he had investors didn't he for new stadium/BPA upgrade?
