I suspect he needs approval for the houses to fund it/make his money.

Houses application goes to planning committee for determination at 6pm this evening, I assume anyone interested can watch the planning committee do its democratic thang online.
Officer recommendation is for approval and I cannot see anything on a brief scan of the Officers Report tying the houses to the training ground.
I suspect that if this passes we may see a departure!

After recent events, please tell me it's not a Zoom call

So is this horse racing trainer, Sean Curran, any relation to our favourite centre back?

No idea, lots of planning committees seem to have changed from 7pm to 6pm post covid. After recent events, please tell me it's not a Zoom call
It will be some sort of online platform, no idea what SBC use. There were a fair few cases of similar disruption to committee meetings at the start of the lockdown, not heard of any recently. I assume the link on here will become live prior to the meeting? http://ww5.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=281&MId=10404&Ver=4 So is this horse racing trainer, Sean Curran, any relation to our favourite centre back?
It has been suggested that he is Currans old man albeit others suggest that Curran senior is some sort of packaging magnet.

Good news if it goes ahead. Not only because it increases the prospect of a new training ground, but the prospect that we’ll make progress with respect to the ownership situation. The land becomes more valuable, he can sell it to a developer, and potentially use funds from that to settle with Standing.

Not entirely convince that it will, I had assumed that the Council would try in some way to link the training ground and houses application so that the houses could not be built unless the training facility was provided. I have not read the committee report in any detail, but from a scan it looks like the houses permission (if granted) will be unfettered by any such tie, so in theory Power can sell the housing site with permission for a tidy profit, build his stables and sack off the training ground. Unless he can manage to tie the club down to a hefty rental for the training ground before he sells, I don't really see how it makes economic sense to build it for him, especially if he is trying to get out. As noted earlier, I do wonder/hope that getting the most lucrative part of the scheme passed may accelerate his departure.

This seems to have been comprehensively dismissed on Twitter, including by people who know Sean Curran

You'd hope a new owner might see the value in the plot and the fact that the building permission has already been granted - and choose to go ahead and complete it themselves. Maybe it will be included as part of any deal - no doubt Power will be wanting to shift that land unless he has other plans for it. But that all depends on the wealth and plans any new owners might have.
