RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 01-10-2019
Apparently there is a bit of a snag with the Bridgford End expansion, it may well be just the Main Stand at least for the time being with a capacity of 36,000. Not confirmed though.
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - ozzyten10 - 01-10-2019
Yes- even though nffc own the houses directly behind - they have some kind of protected status. There are a few issues with building regs too... the main stand may have to built with light in mind although modern materials may be the solution here... (I know someone at Bennoy)
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - ozzyten10 - 01-10-2019
I’m sure it will be sorted eventually

Got ahead of ourselves it would seem. Gonna look odd having that random dip compared to the rest of the stadium.
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - ozzyten10 - 01-10-2019
I think it will get sorted...nothing an accident with a crane can’t sort !

Damn, hope not. Hope it can get sorted.

I suspected things weren't going to plan. IMO (I know a little bit about these things), the planning app should have been in a couple of months ago if the idea is to start work in the summer. There's normally a lot of work to do by the Architects and other consultants between planning and start on site.
The building regs issue could possibly be the threat of fire spread over the boundary - if you're proposing to build up to a boundary there are limitations on 'unprotected areas', such as windows and construction made with combustible materials. It's to prevent fire spread like the great fire of London. The fact the club owns these buildings presumably is irrelevant in that regard.
And right to light issues are ancient laws and not easily overcome. No matter how many Councillors, fans, powerful club owners are behind a development, the planners have a legal duty to apply all planning laws which protect the amenity of the owners of the adjacent buildings. It couldn't be overcome when the current Bridgford end was built, and they're probably running into the same issues this time around.
See this link to the streetview of the Aviva stadium, which I've often thought must have been designed to overcome right to light issues.
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - Widdow - 02-10-2019
Apparently Forest are also not responding emails and calls from the boathouses to look at next steps and their relocation as part of project.
Don’t forget they thought be out in 12 months and nothing been confirmed
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - BestwoodRed - 02-10-2019
It's almost like the information for the stadium was released too early and to deflect from the corruption charges that were in the press at the same time
RE: The 2 Infrastructure Projects - Kranky - 02-10-2019
I've suspected from day one this won't get off the ground in the summer. Too bleeding good to be true. Got way ahead of ourselves.

I see. Innovative solution. And that's what this classic site of the City Ground requires. They'll have to design an innovative solution that works.
I do like the way part of the corner that you currently have allows a peak into the ground as you walk towards the City Ground. That's a 'romantic' feature.
But the 'bent' roof or dent in the Bridgford End is unsightly to me. I'd rather it all be one shorter height than that. Again, maybe a 'see through' design could help any 'right to light' issues.
They'll have to try harder. Forest are a world class brand. It really does need a high standard of innovation worthy of the brand.
What's been revealed so far has been promising. And the Olympiacos Club looks of an impeccable stature.
Getting that quality at Forest is essential to moving the club forward.
It's Forest, it never was going to be easy. But it will happen in time. It's just something to be overcome if there are planning teething problems.

If Forest get into the Premier, they'll need 38k.
Don't think 36k will be enough.
