Planning application - including dates - gone in for the work at the corners of the Holte.

http://eplanning.idox.birmingham.gov.uk/publisher/mvc/listDocuments?identifier=Planning&reference=2026/00514/PA
From what I've seen the work they are about to do in the Holte corners are a bigger dogs dinner than what HDE provided in the first place.

Well, yes. As an expansion of the current dog’s dinners, one would hope they’d be bigger.

It looks fucking horrible, the sort of cheap, horrible jerrybuilt tack Wolves would put up. I'd rather see the gap and the greenery behind it.

Hopefully it will look better than that, those images around the extension and roof bits looks like something from my lads Minecraft.

It brings to mind putting a corrugated iron car port outside a stately home.

At least it gets rid of that awful fire escape staircase with the lovely plastic corrugated roof.

Ok "more of a dogs dinner" I sincerely apologise for my poor grammar.

The clean, new build North Stand plus other adjustments was to take us to 52,190 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2028_bids) whereas the new sort of hybrid North Stand plus adjustments is to take us to 50,000 (48,800 not counting those other adjustments).

The reasoning of keeping fans in the stand during construction obviously makes a lot of sense but what if that proves impossible either way? Justin's video tonight mentioned about the works being delayed to summer or some such. If it's a case of these works can't happen with fans then this is going to look like a mistake. Could be nothing but that bit stood out a bit

Must admit most of the re development looks a bit of an after thought. I love Villa Park and don't want to move but any works done need to be part of a bigger design vision. It all looks very small time and tacky.

Looks good, but it's not going to help with our carbon footprint.

I wouldn’t take much notice of his video. The drone footage is interesting but he’s confused and misunderstood loads of issues. So he’s made loads of assumptions which aren’t right. As for work on the North Stand starting in the summer that’s always been the case.

He's the bloke that went on SkySports and said he wouldn't swap any Villa players for an Arsenal one before they beat us?
I am sure he is a nice guy but doesn't know anything above what anyone does. He's just a Villa fan with a Villa themed pub in his garden.
