Nothing gets in the way of big business. One family saying their already compromised view out the back garden will be made slightly worse won't stop £1billion's worth of investment. Bearing in mind Mayor Khan is going to lift planning restrictions to allow development in London including allowing people to build houses in their back gardens I doubt the rather old and often neglected "right to light" counter argument will stand up. On a personal note I hope they win and The Scum are forced to move to Milton Keynes. Or Moscow.
Opportunistic and greedy. I hope they get nothing, lose their case, have legal costs awarded against them and are left with even more Chelsea fans on their doorstep.
Sod the view just thing about the smell Chelsea have always attracted society’s mainstream zombies They all have that slight smell of rodent
It’ll go ahead anyway, too much money involved. Their best bet is to offer to sell up to Chelsea for two or three times the value, Chelsea can use it as a hospitality house or something for match days and charge extortionate amounts of money for the prawn sandwich munchers, the family can move a bit further away from that horrid match day experience!
Also remember the ‘accident’ that befell the last building in the way of Tottenham’s new stadium? There’s always some nutters out there willing to risk lives http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...king-Tottenham-Hotspurs-new-100m-stadium.html
They should sell the place for 2 mill and move to a nice flat in the White City and enjoy the remaining 100,000.00
Harsh. 50 years in the same home - hardly 'Johnny come lately' opportunists. "The family have said via their lawyers they are not opposed to the redevelopment of the stadium, but have suggested the east stand in question could be "cut-back or re-designed so as not to cause interference". Seems fair...
