Better lighting today , loads of activtity
Not really, not if it is of any notable scale. Depends on the extent and impact, and most of all accessibility arrangements. In this case significant enough to need approval.
There are two separate approvals in place. 'Alterations to concourse to improve access and egress and associated works' which was approved in June and covers moving turnstiles, exits and gates etc (ref. 136949/FO/23). And one for the club shop and associated relocation works which covers the temporary structures etc. (136433/FO/23). There is even an approval for the trial pits and site investigation etc granted in June, as it apparently affects access around the stadium.
Not that the details matter I suppose, the club will obviously do everything professionally and by the book. I'm pointing it out more to counter the perception that 'they must be so confident they'll get approval for the big one that they have already started'. They most likely Are confident they will get approval, and they Have already started, but what they started is fully covered separately, as it should be.

I can just imagine it if they are putting the seats in as well. They put in 6000 new seats and Bolton or someone open the ground Monday morning to find 6000 seats suspiciously missing
It’s a very long read. Good luck to anyone who decides to read it all. Definitely worth looking through at least.

OOOPPPSSS!!
I did say I found it unbelievable that there were no objections. 5 is still surprisingly low for this scale of development. A fun read that, plenty of wry chuckles. Surprised they weren't put up on the portal in full.
It's a lady apparently who will decide or rather approve ! Why do you think City have moved the club shop and started some ground work if they didn't already know it would be approved !
It is not. It is a committee of councilors, who will vote on it. That was set from when it was lodged. Read back through the pages on their already starting. They will of course vote above football allegiance. Don't think anyone has any concern about it not being approved, could even be unanimous. But the curiousty of who backs which club is entirely natural.

They are also under a separate advertising application, so the scheme can still be approved without them. Haven't had the chance to read the report, but that was the one I was mentioning I was looking out for. From the brief glimpse, it is obvious the club worked with the Planners throughout this and nothing put forward would have been seen as contentious.

Anybody thinking there are any worries about planning being approved needs their bumps felt.
Found It. Just 2 lines.
The impact of the LED screens would be considered as part of a separate Advertisement Application including any impact on nearby homes.

Both ends - South Stand & North Stand
Ha I said it before having read it. I don't think many might appreciate it, but the club have been very clever, splitting this into effectively 5 separate applications. Ensuring that at no point are they sat waiting on the wheels of processing turning. The boards would have needed an advertising consent anyway, but leaving it out of this one means less risk and channels obvious objections elsewhere. Similarly the 3 other applications around the grounds mean they can start multiple parts without waiting for this one, and control their build timeframe. Have to say, the planners have done really well to get this to committee for the end of July, it is faster than I would have expected. Particularly if you consider they also processed 4 other applications for the club simultaneously. But at the time of submitting the club obviously wouldn't gamble on that vs waiting all summer to get consent, hence they got in 3 smaller, less contentious applications which are below the committee threshold, to allow them to start when they intended. Now to just sit back and watch this go through, and then the headlines start all over again.
