  • Grimsby Town Football Club Stadium Consultation Submission at 13Th March 2015
    Grimsby Town Football Club Stadium Consultation Submission at 13th March 2015 Introduction & background The Grimsby Town Football Club has been engaged in several failed attempts to relocate since 1994. The Club’s first planning application submitted back in 2001 was refused planning permission to a site at Great Coates. These plans were then allocated in the 2003 local plan. Subsequent to this a second application was submitted during 2005. Finally in January 2007 the scheme received planning committee approval 10-1 against, but was then subjected to judicial review by a competing scheme, by Henry Boots which was not allocated in the local plan. In November 2007 the Secretary of State approved the Council’s decision and planning permission was granted. The planning permission had 74 conditions attached, some of them financially onerous to say the least. Notwithstanding this, the scheme was rendered undeliverable when the economy crashed early 2008, and the retail enabling development could not be secured. Further to this the landowner would not commit to the sale of the site, expressing that with all of the conditions attached to the planning permission, the scheme was unviable in their opinion, a status the landowner maintains to this day. For this reason, the Club and its development partners conducted a new sequential appraisal in 2011 considering a number of sites which could accommodate the Club’s needs together with the all-important enabling development. A site in multi ownership to the west of Peaks Parkway, part owned by the Local Authority (LA) was sequentially preferred. A cabinet decision on the 4th of December 2014 sets out a basis to progress this further.
