Woz01 3,589 Posted March 15, 2017 Hall Green Stadium IS an "Asset of the community" but this hasn't prevented Birmingham City Council from approving an application to demolish it and put 200 houses on the site - and in a particularly devious and deceitful way too - after the planning committee had originally voted 9-2 in favour of rejecting the application! The fact that the stadium was a community Asset counted for nothing. It's another layer to make it more difficult to get planning. It doesn't stop it.

poole keith 911 Posted March 15, 2017 think the hall green site was a bit different to say the least the planning committee rejected the application for development,some weeks later the full council decided it didnt have sufficient spare funds to pay the legal costs reqd to fight the inevitable appeal so reversed the decision and granted permission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abbo 229 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Surely if the case of Hall Green is as reported the sole reason for giving in was the cost of an appeal being disproportiate then it could be the Council could acted illegally if it was illegal then surely the matter should be reported. I would however doubt that facts are as stated on this forum. Edited March 15, 2017 by abbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markyb 323 Posted March 17, 2017 Interesting photographs on the Peterborough Speedway twitter feed of their press and practice even taking place right now. Especially the Yellow and Black air fence which looks very recognizable and definitely not in their team colours ! Wonder if they got some track shale on the cheap too ?

The air fence at the showground has been yellow and black for sometime now, it is not Coventry's that you seem to be sarcastically pertaining it to be and the only connection it has with Coventry is Mick Horton conveniently borrowed parts of it without bothering to return them and as far as I am aware your shale went to Kirky lane. Hope that answers you're sarcasm . I should also like to know what makes you think the air fence has to be a particular colour that has to be in line with teams colours.

As you refer to Mr Horton "borrowing" airfences to Peterborough speedway - did a certain Mr Sandhu know of this being the owner of the fixtures and fittings of Coventry Speedway ? Sounds like an act of theft and something which Mr Sandhu should investigate Edited March 17, 2017 by markyb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
