So the public consultation period on the proposed alterations expires on the 8th October but I’m sure people will have noticed the new wall and relocated turnstiles going in at the old away fans entrance well before any consent is granted. What do you think are the chances of the council planning enforcement officers telling the club to stop work as they would be pretty quick to do if you try and build a house extension before you have permission
There will be things they can do without planning permission, but if your upset about it,and it's affecting your life that much,get yourself to the planning office and raise your concerns.

Its possible that planning permission isn't required for that specific element of the work. I would expect there to be regular discussions between the club and planning officers throughout this process. Therfore if any planning officers thought this would need planning then they would advise the club accordingly before any work starts.

Hopefully they wouldn't do that as it's going to improve the stadium , that's the bit i'm most interested in seeing.

I'm sure discussions are in place and the council are fully aware of how much money our club brings to the town

We don't want an Accrington Stanley situation with Hyndburn Council

There are a number of possible explanations, ranging from those elements being considered permitted development to the club having been given positive feedback throughout pre-planning and planning process to be comfortable making a start to shorten overall timescales.

Either way, great to see some action.
