North Stand Construction Discussion

[wolfie1988]

This mornings flight.
It really has been a lot of progress this week, wasn't expecting to see that much progress since the lift on Tuesday

Incredible amount of work gone on since that lift. Can really see what it will look like at the end now. Thanks as always, CP!

Great progress this last few weeks.

From CP Overview’s video.

You can see marquees at the end of the Collar site next to the footbridge.

What if anything is in the PP for car parking to the hotel ??

Guess you can see the sense in focusing all the terracing in the middle block, to get it done sonthe skybar terracing steel can overhang them now without needing to squeeze in the last few rows under it.

Not for me. How did Fred Dibnah survive let alone prosper?

He survived by drinking Greenhalls best bitter

It’s almost like they know what they are doing

TBH I can’t remember if there is parking provision or just drop off? I would expect there is parking provision. I’ll have a look at the PA when I’ve got time. Coatigan, Hellocity, or another forum member might know without looking through the PA.

From what I remember, nothing. The minimum required Acc spaces, cycle spaces and thats it it joins on exiting parking on Alan Turner way. There is a 100+ page transport assessment that effectively justifies this, all the different public transport routes available, and this is not uncommon in urban settings.

Remember that there was an approval in place from 2014 as well as part of the south stand, and the infrastructure is largely there for the stand, which included a future north stand capacity and this is not an increase on that.

I'd have to look at it again for any more detail than that though, and it was some time ago so might need a memory refresh.

Edit, just had a quick look at the TA.
'No additional parking will be provided for the hotel or workspace use and those staff and visitors will be required to use existing on site parking. Around 150 spaces will be allocated for users of the hotel'.

I guess their logic is that the most of the week on non-match days there is ample parking on site, and on match days many will come by public transport anyway.
