We had hoped to apply for planning before year end. Now we hope to do so in the new year but we presumeably first have to finalise the funding agreement with the Council, then raise a committment of hundreds of millions in funding from investors while the team are struggling and then the architect has to prepare the highly detailed submissions required for the planning application.
Impossible to see any planning application being submitted before next summer and maybe not in 2018 and that's even if things go well. It's way behind schedule but positive we've acquired the land for a nominal rent when we were supposed to be paying £20m+ for it. Not sure why Peel would agree. Must be something that's not in the public domain.
