michy only been here a few weeks and already he's causing issues. the longer we're not in wembley stadium the better imo. one thing i hope which is a hard ask is we can win the champion's league one last time at stamford bridge before the new stadium move. what a dream that would be.

I really hope your children learn to appreciate non-human life around them more than you do...

Just found the following on the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council website. One is about a resident in Seagrave Road which is just around the corner from the ground. The other is a letter to a representative of the club with some questions about the redevelopment proposal.

Kev56, thanks for letting me know that the documents are no longer available. Strange that the Council has just removed them given that they were put on the website about two months ago. The documents do include personal information i.e. home addresses so I wonder if that has been spotted. Anyway, I have managed to download the documents to my laptop. Hope to upload them to here later today. Will remove personal references out of courtesy to the residents. Also to stop this website from getting into trouble about data protection etc.

OK, im not to optimistic about this happening, if it does its gonna be a very long drawn out process. Myself and many others can remember the last time we 'rebuilt the bridge' to much to write about here, but it was painfully slow and ill-fated .

I had no idea of any of this. I'll never underestimate the contribution of bats to human society ever again. This sentence alone almost made me run to donate to the bat conservation fund:

Additionally, the Saguaro cactus (Arizona’s state plant) and the agave plant, which is used to make tequila, are completely dependent on bat pollinators for reproduction.

Agree it's going to be a long drawn out process. I remember the last re-build in the nineties. I can't remember when application went into the council but am guessing it must have been about 1992. The old Shed End closed at the end of season 1993-1994. At the time Ken Bates said that he didn't think building a 60,000 capacity stadium was a good idea as he believed that the football supporting bubble would burst. Hasn't been the case but that's hindsight. What might have been.

Does make you wonder if the council and local businesses and residents would have been more agreeable to a larger stadium. For example, rather than building the hotel at the back of the Shed an additional tier could have been added to the Shed. 

Am not sure how much planning rules and conservation laws have changed in the last 25 years. 

As mentioned above a resident in Lily Bridge House in Seagrave Road has raised objections to the redevelopment. I wonder if they have raised similar objections to the news housing estate being built at the top of Seagrave Road just down from the junction with Lillie Road and near the Atlas pub.

A few days I posted the above links which have now been removed by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. However, before they were removed I took copies and here they are:

Have uploaded the files. Hope this works. If not, let me know and I'll try and cut and paste them. One of the files is 12mb. Mods, sorry if this exceeds any space limits.

Thanks Boyne. Whoever objects in that first letter has employed Mishcon de Reya to represent them. Don't know if we should be alarmed or not. Does anyone know if this is normal practise?

With a bit of googling I've found that Lily Bridge House was sold in 2014 for £18m and has been up for rent for the small sum of £34,677pcm:

It's clear then that whoever the owner is (be it an individual or a company) has some money to burn! In my line of work I've learnt that all wealthy land owners have solicitors and land agents etc so it doesn't surprise me that they have Mishcon de Reya representing them.

I've also found out that Lily Bridge House also has a planning application ongoing with Hammersmith and Fulham council so maybe there's an ulterior motive.

Huttsey, thanks for posting the link. I see that the application has been with the council for a couple of years. That's a hell of a lot of money for a month's rent. As you say, they have money to burn.

I've done a bit of a research on the couple who are using Mishcon de Reya. He is on the board of Hellman and Friedman (a private equity investment firm) and she is an independent film producer so between them they must earn a few quid.

I have tried accessing the links I posted a few days ago a few times this morning. Sometimes I can access the links and on other times I can't. Looks like there is something wrong with the Council's website. The links give the names of the couple. I'm surprised that the council hasn't covered up the names under data protection laws unless the couple don't mind if their names are made public.

That explains a lot! In my research yesterday I was trying to find out who the owners were but all links went to a website for an independent film company.

My understanding is that when people object to the council regarding proposals which are in the public domain, you waive your anonymity, and the council can publish if they so wish, and they tend to publish only a few. I guess this keeps everybody accountable. My understanding but could be wrong.

Some more information from the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council Website. Links below. Have also uploaded the documents as it is not always possible to access the documents online.

More than this, it seems some major parts of the application have recently been revised. As the LBHF website puts it:

Quote

Latest news - the application has been revised

Since the submission of the original planning application, a number of amendments have now been made by the applicant to the proposed development.

Some amendments have been made in response to the representations received on the original submission. Other amendments respond to changing technical and operational requirements as well as ongoing design refinement. The principal changes to the design reflected in the Amended Proposed Development relate to:

• Enhanced landscaping proposals. These include additional tree planting, green roofs and perimeter planting;
• Refinements to the stadium design, including minor changes to massing and roof geometry and the introduction of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant;
• Reduction in overall number of parking spaces from 250 to 190 spaces; and

Amendments to the proposed decking platforms in certain locations around the edge of the Application Site.

The description of the proposed development is unchanged from the original description with the exception of the inclusion of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant.

See the site for a link to all the revised documents.

I don't think this has been posted

The Pic shows the proposed decking over the railway.

I just got  my letter from the council saying the plans have been amended and where to go to comment. I've a feeling that this is going to be far from straightforward.

Got my letter too yesterday.

Reading the above comments about the challenge and Mishcon de Reya. Obviously doesnt make any difference but its interesting to note one of the Directors of the CPO Gray Smith is a partner at Mishcon de Reya.

Cheers for the updates gents, seems like a right pain !
