Leamington new ground situation

Some potential progress on the long running saga of the Leamington FC community stadium:
Next Wednesday 4th June, Warwick District Council's Cabinet are discussing the authority's new CIL* Projects List. The draft for approval contains funding of £5m from financial year 2027/28 onwards.
The CIL funding is one of the expected funding streams for the stadium project, but approving the list does not itself give the green light for the project. A future report to Cabinet should be submitted with more detailed information about the scheme, at which point the Cabinet would decide whether to go ahead. The club's shareholders would also need to vote to agree the club's involvement, including the sale of the club's current New Windmill Ground.
Should the above all be approved there is also the matter of planning permission for the stadium. The stadium has outline planning permission as part of the surrounding residential and commercial development, much of which is already built, but still requires a detailed "reserved matters" planning application and approval. This may be more tricky than envisaged when the stadium project was first proposed, as there are now neighbouring homes.
The timescales for all of the above aren't clear from the publicly available documents, so my guess would be as good as anyone's as to when a spade might hit the ground, but approval of the CIL projects list on Wednesday would put one piece of this complicated puzzle in place. This is the most progress I've seen in about 6 years, so some faint optimism is starting to creep in. Fingers crossed the Brakes could be moving closer to civilization.
* Community Infrastructure Levy - this is funding for community projects paid for by developers through the planning process.
How much of this could be relevant to our situation or how much further along they actually are than us i have no idea .
