However, I remain of the view that had they applied for planning for the new stand alone, and not tagged on the apartments, then planning would be in the bag by now. The club's strategy is to use to the wider economic and social benefits of the improved stadium as a lever to achieve a planning permission for the apartments ie, in their currently proposed form, it's unlikely the apartments would get planning permission if submitted as an individual application and so the club are saying, we'll build the city of Nottingham a shiny new stand, if you give us planning for these apartments.
The sale of those appartments will go a very long way towards paying for the New Stand; I would guess that the Stand is totally dependent on the appartments
