When the old board looked in to planning permission all those years ago for a roof I don't beleive they was allowed to increase the height of the SB due to residents behind and blocking their light as they would not get permission.

Although to be fair fitton & co will be proper plans rather than getting a 5 year old to draw them up.

So going on that assumption I assume a few rows of the SB would be taken out to incorporate them thus not needing them to go so high.

  The Shrivenham Road residents had their say, as entitled with a planning application....but the application i still with SBC, as the club didn't bother pursuing it because of cash shortage.

No, that's an old myth. As Reg says, they got permission but ran out of money and never pursued it.

He is right, things will never change

We'll never get taken over
We'll never see the back of Diamandis and Co
We'll never bring in chairman than does something, unlike Carson
We'll never replace the seats in the Arkells
We'll never be debt free

Lets just give up now....

You're becoming less of a "realist" by the day. What happened to all the negativity? Cheesy

Quote from: "Si Pie"
Does anyone think they may just build them on top of the bank
I was thinking that. Portakabins on the bank and the seats taken out to put in the Arkells. Although maybe they will do it properly and build something permanent/semi-permanent where the bank is now. :?

I can't see the council giving planning position for these due to the residents - after the trouble over the stadium plans before SBC probably don't want to rock the boat.

Tef poster on not reading through the thread properly shocker.

We've all done it. Sometimes in the rush to make our point we all risk it. And rightly so.

I thought they got permission to put a roof on but was not allowed to take it any higher than what it is now due to blocking residents light ?

I thought they got permission to rebuild it like the South Stand?

I don't suppose it matters too much, executive boxes are unlikely to affect the fans too much, unless of course people join the prawn sandwich brigade for a game or two.
