Planning Permission Granted for New Stand 3 Years On!

"A retrospective planning application saw councillors formally approve the construction of AFC Fylde’s 1,800 capacity North stand – three years after it was built.

But the thorny issue of parking spaces at the Mill Farm Sports Village site, which also includes a number of retail amenities, also had to be considered at the meeting of Fylde Council’s planning committee. Concerns were raised about parking spaces and congestion during match days at the site, where AFC play their home games in the National League.

The meeting heard that the applicant, site owner Tangerine Holdings Ltd, had made a unilateral agreement which effectively reduced the capacity of the stadium (licence limit) to 4,250, with the ratio of 1 space for 10 people, meaning match-goers would be allowed 425 spaces, thus preventing over capacity on parking."

Perhaps Sadler ought to just send the bulldozers into Henry Street and start building our's?

My video from nearly 14 years ago of the "temporary" stand going up. Incidentally the bloke who did the song for the video is now an AFC Fylde fan!
