sidcow Posted December 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2022 1 hour ago, The Fun Factory said: Overall a very positive recommendation for approval. A few comments- The travel data is interesting- though we don't have 3pm k-o's anymore lol. Nearly 60% arrive by car which is far to high, and 3% for bus which is abysmal. The proposed bus service from Frederick Road will help get the majority of fans back to the city centre and beyond. Didn't realise that the tramway depot is grade II listed. Aston is a historic place and should be proud of it. The actual square meters of the Villa Live building is smaller than the current Villa Village and academy building, which shows the inefficient use of space at the moment. Villa must be losing some office space so not sure where some of the staff will move to- work from home?! Where do the current away coaches park- is it over the witton road next to the tramway depot? I would like to see where the alternative would be. At present it is a short distance from the away section and the police may have a say on the matter if it ends up being 5-10 mins walk away Says match day will try to route crowds away from Aston Hall. Hope that means that is not going to be closed for a walk around before kick off. The connection between the hall and the stadium is a long standing and historic one. Overall it is looking promising and clearly the club has engaged with the council throughout the process. I suspect the new North Stand has more office space. Plus they are moving the players facilities into the new stand creating plenty of space in The Trinity that could possibly house offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycv Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 On office space, the Villa Live plans have a whole level for commercial - so I expect it will be there. In terms of timing, I re-watched one of the Christian Purslow interviews on this - and he said two years from the submission of the planning application - that was September 2022 - so completely delivered by the start of the 24/25 season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Probably the most relevant place for this but this looks intriguing. A revamp is definitely needed but I fear it could be chaos to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I thought there was an 11 o’clock meeting today, during which a planning decision is being made. Is it me just not understanding the grinding pace of council meetings or have I got the date wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the plan though with projects like this it is always a bit ish on timings. As long it isn't as slow as Fulham's new stand which has seemed to have taken forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thanks to @OutByEaster? and the rest of the Mod team for working with the club on this and continuing to ensure that in all dealings with the club, VT speaks on behalf of its members and doesn't have its own POV. @limpid in particular was adamant that if we were to offer a letter of support, it would need to be backed up with proof from the members that they do indeed support it. Sadly, even as Mods, we don't get to see who voted for what and so can't out the person who wasn't in favour 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
