It would be very difficult to get that site past WCC Highways.

You might be able to gain a satisfactory Planning Permission for a small scale Stadium development.

The concern I would have is that it is a former landfill site.

If NBBC were to offer that site to NTFC, they need to make sure that any remediation is completed at the Council's expense, to bring the site forward for construction, without the football club being saddled with possible substantial exceptional costs in the made ground.

Edit:

To carry out an extensive Ground Investigation alone would wipe out a good chunk of the funds in the Town's 'Back to Nuneaton' budget.

The normal procedure in such an event would be for NTFC to appoint a Civil & Structural Engineering practice & instruct them to obtain a Ground Investigation Report from a specialist Geotechnical Engineering company.

As a forerunner the Civil Engineering consultant can carry out a desk-top study of the site.

Together with the geological information & any landfill records that have been kept for the site, an initial assessment can be made very quickly, as to the suitablity of the site for Stadium construction.
