Pedrowe Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It’ll be interesting to see how the planning application plays out. It’s pretty minor scheme in the grand scheme of things, but the quality of application itself is appalling. It barely gives any detail for residents to understand the impacts of the proposal. I’d imagine the good people of Horfield (wasn’t there a campaign group before?, Residents Opposed to Stadium Expansion, ROSE??) will kick up enough of a stink to get it to a planning committee and delay it a bit. That said, it seems like Rovers are ploughing on regardless, which is an interesting approach to maintaining good relations with their neighbours… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Here's a taster, gurt Teds in the objections I tell you... Comment Details Commenter Type: Neighbour Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment: Bristol Rovers have been constructing this stand without planning, or consideration for neighbours for a number of weeks, they have been starting works as early at 6:30am and concluding as late as 8pm. They have ripped down trees and shrubs which are necessary to protect privacy to residents on the street, and to act as a barrier for noise and the rubbish which comes from the ground, as well as being a loss for wildlife. The proposed stand is much larger, and will impact on the light in the street, the noise on match day and the number of people which park on the street which is already restricted. The new structure will clearly over shadow neighbouring homes and gardens. The increased capacity will significantly increase the number of cars on the narrow streets, and the number of people who park dangerously, the grounds do little to assist with this in any way currently. It also means residents with young children, or mobility issues, are often left unable to park near or on the surrounding streets to their homes. The ground already makes a significant amount of noise for local residents, and in the past they have left on their scoreboard emitting a high pitched noise often for days. If the capacity is increased the noise will also increase, this is often late into the night, and is not appreciated by those of us with young children. Trees on the boundary between residents gardens and the grounds have been ripped down with no consideration for neighbours privacy or the impact on the local wildlife, especially as we are in nesting season. I am concerned the impact that increased capacity has on the fire evacuation procedure, the grounds currently use the entrance on Alton road as an emergency exit, the close proximity of the stand to this exit, and the large number of people who would be on the narrow street is a cause for concern. Given the scale of the new stand and the impact on the surrounding properties it is going to stick out, as a metal box that does nothing to improve the visuals for the area The grounds have not responded satisfactorily to any queries raised by locals as to the impact the stand will have on them, they have not conducted any public consultation, giving adequate notice for attendance or with anyone who is involved in the project. They believe that they can build the stand no matter the impact, and that nothing will be done. Although the planning application has only been made live, they have already been sharing plans on their website and selling tickets for the stand, and started construction. Their actions suggest they are above any laws, rules and processes put in place that might hinder them having this stand operational for the new season. 9 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 From one of the objections: Quote In addition to the issue of planning permission, there is a lack of evidence to justify the proposed increased stadium capacity. The current proposal fails to provide any data or analysis that convincingly demonstrates the need for such expansion. It is imperative that any increase in capacity aligns with the demands and needs of the local community, and is supported by sound evidence Asking the gas for facts/evidence is akin to asking them where the soap is kept.

Although I agree with @richyy66that some of those objections are too general and frivolous, the killing of the trees without consent is really genuinely upsetting. It's common knowledge of course that destroying trees has a detrimental effect on the levels of carbon emissions in the atmosphere, but it's only recently through having solar panels have I realised that just how much that is. This shows that 1 average size tree saves 1.8tonnes of carbon in it's lifetime, that doesn't take into account the other wildlife that use it and the fact that a tree is like a mini eco system of other plant life growing on it. I am not being facetious, I would be equally appalled (maybe more so) if the City did something like this to healthy trees. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm…. not quite right, as much as I would love it to be in this case. The onus is on the owner/tree surgeon to satisfy themselves that there are no nesting birds or the presence of a bat roost before commencement of tree (or hedge) operations. As you can imagine, this legal ‘obligation’ is easy to flout by disreputable owners/tree surgeons who will claim they did check and found no evidence. Of course, if there is evidence presented by others that birds were nesting at the time of the works or a bat roost existed, the key test would be the quality/robustness of that evidence in a court of law. The bar would be set high, not just ‘say so’. With major developments, or in instances where there are likely to be nesting birds it is regarded as good practice not to undertake works between Feb-Sept/Oct. If, for whatever reason, that is unavoidable many reputable owners/tree surgeons will employ specialist ecologists to undertake surveys to provide evidence prior to works.

Honestly, it's a mixed bag of the things (he says as a resident), still the odd proper boozer around, but equally more places to buy coffee than anyone realistically needs. Some nice places to eat and on a non match day you wouldn't know that the Fewers play nearby, you just don't see people wearing their shirts walking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrected for accuracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
