Welcome to Stafford Forum. Please or sign-up and start posting!
If you're still out there, MAL, apart from the tiresome inconvenience of complying with the council's constitution, planning rules, etc, why would anyone want to put rugby pitches on the windiest place in Stafford?
New documents on the website seem to indicate that the application is still a work in progress, anyway.
Suggest a recheck.
I have no data on this being the windiest part of not. I been up to Beaconside many times and this is windy. Any out of town site will have some degree of exposure to elements.
Sorry, looked to me like the top of the proposed club area extended past that at the top.
This is just confusing for a simple person. All levels and flood risk are reported for anybody to read. If RFU and Sport England happy, much as I am touched by your concern, I am confused as to why you are so worriedOh dear despite moving large amounts of soil to create "a level playing field " the outlook of some of your pitches will remain flooded in the wettest season the Rugby season

Have you been drinking as this makes no sense
Plans certainly have planting of native species which will grow and provide some wind break. Again as an outdoor sport wind is just a fact of life - ask Danny Cipriani trying to kick at the ground in Salford. I am glad you agree this site is above the marshes as others have been pushing an agenda of the site being on the marshesWell the marshes can certainly get windy, and the pitches will be above the standard level of the marshes, so I'd guess so. I'm sure a further revision to the plans could add some walls.

Sometimes it takes time to get admin up to date, and sometimes errors occur. Suffice to say that there are no members of SBC management on the board of Stafford Rugby Club, nor any committee or other enterprise associated with Stafford Rugby Club. I was very clear yesterday and hopefully have been clear today.Why, what is 'wrong' and did it change recently?
it is a good job you don't jump to conclusionsSeems that a director of a recently formed business associated with the rugby club has resigned, docs filed March 7th. It's lucky we don't jump to conclusions on this forum.

I am fully aware of who is doing what. I suggest I may have more clear information than you. I will make no further comments on this questionMAL As a director yourself or even acting as chairman you do not know whom is on the board ,the chairs responsibility is the day to day running of the club ? so why the resignation from SRUFC and now on as a director of Stafford Rugby Ltd , confused.com Mr Adam Hill must have declared this with the council ?

Exactly.But were any involved during the planning or submitting of the planning, as it appears so?
Yes Tekkers the application was validated on 29/01/16 by Stafford BCBut were any involved during the planning or submitting of the planning, as it appears so?
Again this is making assumptions that are simply not correct. Soil will not be brought in, though soil will be moved to make things level and balanced. The Environment agency have looked at this in great detail as it is mandated to, you are not allowed to simply bring in more soil. Read their report - they have no objections. There will be an area that is lower and some that are higher. The lower areas create great environment for the waders etc. The flattened areas will make good pitches as the soil drains well as it is. As I see it it is good for both.In a rush so can't reply to everything but....
I meant the ground level will be above that of the rest of the marshes, as in the actual floor will be higher. I suspect that is not the current case for a large portion of that land, and that soil will be brought in to make it so? I'm pretty sure I've seen that area flooded before at least in part? I knew the old residents at the bottom of betty hatch lane and they used to lose their whole garden some years to the flooding, and at those times I thought the land planned for the pitches was also under water (or at least in part). So yeah, I consider it part of the marshes. Pretty sure the birds do too!
