Planning permission has been granted. For residents to stop it, any objections would need to be raised prior to that point. These objections are either upheld and permission is not granted or they are not. As planning permission has been granted any issues residents may have had or raised have been overcome. Once permission ius granted work must begin within 5 years or a reapplication is needed.
Planning permission has always been granted but the no brigade has always stopped it going any further...It was a stupid place to have the stadium anyway and should have taken the advice given at the time when they had to knock 5k of the original plans that they will have trouble with any future talk of expanding...
