Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo "In terms of the stadium this is actually good news. The SoS wants to see the legal agreements and plans to guarantee the stadium will be built and they meet their obligations. We have no doubt that this will all be sorted and of course happy this will all be sorted very so, so their can be no doubts.'"
You mean the section 106 agreement that still hasn't been agreed?
23. The Secretary of State is minded to approve your client’s application, but he proposes to defer his final decision on the proposed development to enable parties to provide him with a planning obligation under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in respect of the construction of the community stadium and traffic regulation order. The Secretary of State considers that it would be preferable for the planning obligation to be made by agreement between the applicant and the Council. Nevertheless, he is prepared to consider a planning obligation given by unilateral undertaking. If a duly certified, signed and dated planning obligation is made and submitted in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions, the Secretary of State draws the applicant’s attention to the need to ensure that it complies with the provisions of sections 106 and 106A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the CIL Regulations 2010 as amended.
Not to put a dampener on your celebrations but wouldn't count your chickens just yet. In my opinion a stadium build is a long way off, but I never thought they could approve an inappropriate development in the green belt so what do I know!
