I think it's more likely that MCC are keeping City sweet by not allowing a massive Spoons near the Etihad. There's only one company's profits who would suffer because of such a development. I thought such development applications were a matter of public record and any reasons for denial should be available on MCC Planning applications public portal. @jrb is usually all over this kind of stuff.

This has been on the cards for a long time, the council wanted to establish a all sports centre of excellence at the campus unfortunately the plans took a big hit when Manchester Metro University pulled outRFL planning new facility, including 900-seat stand, near Etihad campus

True mate. That said, MMU’s change of heart probably leaves more opportunities open for other developments. World class sports medicine etc isn’t essential to the development of the Etihad Campus, although it would have been a helpful addition.This has been on the cards for a long time, the council wanted to establish a all sports centre of excellence at the campus unfortunately the plans took a big hit when Manchester Metro University pulled out

MMU basically operates as a rapacious and profit-obsessed property developer nowadays, with education seemingly a secondary consideration and mainly to maintain its charitable status

I love the bit that says, " including a pitch facing stand"
Unlike the proposed new swamp stand that will face the railway tracks.

Surely nobody is surprised that planning is not being approved for new boozers anywhere near the stadium.
Not a chance anything gets approved anywhere in that area without the nod from CFG / Manchester Life. They certainly won’t want anything built that will affect the new Arena, which I would imagine is anything at all in the catchment area.
If they don’t control it you get ridiculous situations like Utd had with Hotel Football built literally on their doorstep.

i think more accurately the government will be announcing the redistribution of some of the HS2 savings to Northern constituencies - with a Tory MP - in what amounts to a range of disparate and uncoordinated transport schemes aimed less at improving transport infrastructure and more at placating Tory voters in key marginal parliamentary seats….

The first question the gov should be asked is: "On what date will you announce the cancellation of these plans?"

Levelling up? Really. Cross rail 2 will be completed before HS2 is complete let alone HS3.

Sorry M’Lord
Whatever they propose will be underfunded and inadequate even for the 1980's never mind 2020s and beyond.
Transport infrastructure and public transport in the UK is appalling and approaching 3rd world levels.
