Wow. Thousands of people have gone onto the Rushcliffe website over the last 24 hours to support the planning application.

Good. I think I saw some kind of petition thing on Twitter urging people to pile in.

I’d recommend that everyone has a go at supporting the application - that is if you want it -
The sheer volume of support should put huge weight behind the application.
Also if anyone who is more local and a RBC resident then your support would count even more...

They could always move away from the area, I am sure others would love to live so close to the ground
Living so close to the City Ground and Trent Bridge Cricket then they know they will be in a hub of traffic.

If the new flats have limited parking then won’t be loads more cars. Forest players / officials even on match will have to park at the Academy and get a bus in.

And as for the size how did Trent Bridge get away with there new stand, that’s massive ?

I am sure they would've known about the parking on matchday issues before they moved into their properties. Let us not forget that 40 years ago, we were seeing 40,000+ making their way into the ground and whilst it could be argued there weren't as many cars about in those days (there were still enough to gridlock the area), neither were a lot of the traffic calming schemes that are in place today, nor the much improved public transport available.
Add to that the fact that evening games were 7.30 KO's which would've impacted even more on rush hour traffic at that time.

Bunch of NIMBY's with nowt better to do than moan about something that can only be beneficial to the greater Nottingham area, at a site that has been there longer than any of them have been!!  :@

Not having a go at your suggestions above but extending the tram would cost millions and take many years plus its own planning enquiries to complete. That wont help us here and now.

Any response to mitigate the issues raised would help eg greater economic benefit from having world class facilities etc. The club have produced their own info on environmental impact and how it can be addressed. Any cost effective and easily implemented suggestions such as shuttle buses, how you would use such facilities yourself, would help our current case.

 I actually think a small branch line along the embankment would be pretty simple and relatively cheap to complete -even if it terminates at Trent bridge, opening up the park and ride from the west for more users. The road is very wide and land is open space. The current walk puts too many off. If the branch line could then be extended into the centre then even better but understand this would be a much bigger issue.

I agree that it won't help this planning application.

Well I’ve supported the application - but not sure that my vote as an ‘out of towner’ will carry any weight.
