There could be a Staffordgate for planning decisions !!!

Well parking is an issue on the current site as Kingsway can be a nightmare with parking on there. If its double yellow lined the only place to go would be King Horse, they won't want it.
there is very little room for bigger facilities or expansion they want about 4 pitches that won't happen on the current site, without it there is no increase in turnover nor employment. Location isnt bad but there is little in the way of bus routes. most buses stop at chell rd, a new site would be more accessible and easier to locate, let alone closer proximity to the western access means north and east side visitors could bypass the town route to gain access.
Not saying I agree but that is how planners will be thinking.

They already have 4 pitches on the current site.
They only have 2 and one has been sold. Let alone the site is ugly and bag of rip old crap to be fair.
My concern is the rubbish at doxey marshes. Loose rugby balls, plastic cups, wrappers, cans will be blown or thrown across the marshes. If one was to look at the treeline at the current club.... What a friggin mess!!
Will the fireworks display still occur, now that would intrusive on the local habitat.

So you build a road to alliviate then put in a facility to generate traffic slap bang in the middle , the estate has one way in and out , the estate is full of freeloaders 7 days a week then to add more users when the car parks are full or flooded on the new club site , parking on Kingsway should have never been allowed in the 1st place to accommodate the current site

They have four.
If they've been daft enough to allow the sale of one before they have somewhere else to go then that would be their problem. If they have.
I'm not aware of any serious efforts having been made to improve or decorate their existing premises so that too is their problem, surely.

There are more questions than answers:
According to the Rugby Football Union the minimum floodlight requirement for training and matches at levels 6 to 12 is a maintained illuminance of 100 lux and for matches at levels 1 to 5 its 200 lux. I understand that Stafford Rugby Club is somewhere around level 7 at the moment.
And yet Mark Alford's report states:
How will that work then?

Cos they'd change the bulbs once they get built, then put in retrospective planning permission if caught and claim ignorance. Although if the people I overheard on the marshes follow through the bulbs will need replacing almost daily anyway!
Of course would create jobs and work PPppppp. The place has to be constructed from scratch. Where there is construction of any kind there are jobs created as many workers in such fields are essentially freelance and go where the work is. Even my 3 year old niece has enough sav to work that one out
the proposal is a bigger site so that will bring more work with it once it complete.
I base the sale comment related to the trainings pitches on kingsway opposite the rugby club. That was taken from someone else making the claim somewhere earlier in the thread.

Sorry to disappoint your 3 year-old niece, but after the site has been flattened probably only a few part-time bar staff and and someone to count the money. As an alternative, they could create work by rebuilding the current pitches at a lower height so they'd flood in winter. A giant wind machine on the west of the site might keep a few more people busy, too.
