My comments as follows:-

The top priority now is to obtain a Coal Mining Risk Assessment & to locate the mineshafts on the site & in the surrounding area.

Filling, grouting & capping off mineshafts is expensive & is also time consuming, because there has to be a period to allow for settlement, before further development work can commence.

There is also a risk with mineworkings for groundwater contamination.

The comments about the site being used by NBBC as a tip for household waste & 'possible other types of waste' including industrial waste suggest that, unless NBBC have accurate records of the material bring tipped, it could have been uncontrolled tipping.

The reference to tanks is concerning, without knowing what was stored in those tanks.

As far as the new Stadium design is concerned, none of the 5 schematics presented show the Main Stand positioned in the West.

The Budget Cost Plan is at the top end of the costings, which is to be expected & has typical exclusions.

What is concerning to me is that it doesn't properly address the cost of any potential remediation works for the site, particularly contamination & ground improvement requirements, although it does mention piled foundations & gas protection measures.

What is most concerning are the NBBC Cabinet comments about not wanting a football ground in Nuneaton, questioning the sustainability of such a development on NBBC owned land & also not wanting a football ground at Vale View.

Also, NBBC are not prepared to offer any financial support to NTFC.

The rent will be a fair market rent, assuming a 49-year lease is granted.

Just my thoughts!

Edit:

NTFC also need to obtain an estimate of how much the Planning Process will cost, which should be possible, if it hasn't already been provided by the professionals they have already employed.

This cost is presently excluded from the Budget Cost Plan.
