Before they start to sell tickets they'll need a decision on the planning. Rushcliffe's determination deadline is 28th Feb but due to the large number of objections it'll undoubtedly be referred to the planning board meeting. That is scheduled for 12th March.
On a big scheme like this, by now you'd expect there to have been some discussion/negotiation between the architect and planners resulting in the provision of amended design drawings. None have yet appeared on RBC's website. And there's clearly some discussion to be had with the boat clubs, which doesn't yet seem to have happened. So looks like it's going to go to the wire to me.
I've thought for a while now it all looks a bit late in the day to me. I wouldn't be surprised if work on site starts in summer 2021 now with the club's pr machine blaming the planners or boat clubs or neighbours for delaying their project when really they don't want to proceed unless the guaranteed income from Prem money is in the bag. Understandable.
