Key phrase surely:
"Given Warren’s stance, it surely cannot be beyond the wit of the trio to figure out where else on Old Oak Common the stadium might rest? After all, the Cargiant owner only owns a tiddly 47 acres out of the whole 380." |  | |  |

Tony Pidgley and Stuart Lipton are serious players. Car Giant mean business.
Fingers crossed that we can find space elsewhere within Old Oak Common. |  | | |

I was told at the consultation event in Kensal Green that we don't own any land on the site. We have pre agreements in place with companies who own 20% of the land needed for the stadium. Car Giant own the other 80%. |  | | |

The idea that proximity to a football stadium slows down sales is a load of eyewash.Proximity to Craven Cottage has done nothing to halt demand,prices remain buoyant.
If you applied that to LR you could inform the owners around the ground they'd have greater difficulty in selling their houses but we'll give you a better price.The door swings both ways.Buy them up and increase the capacity. |  |

That arrangement, as I understand it, is little more than a 'first look' deal. I.e. the company that owns it has to give QPR first refusal before they sell it to anybody else. And it expires at the end of the year. |  | | |

As I've said before, this is a political and GLC led initiative that Car Giant have sought to fight all the way hence why they are behind in their plans, and it will be the politicians who decide not car giant, and they will be looking not just for housing but long term employment opportunities and sustainability, and Car Giants employee per acre owned is tiny, there will be an entertainment / leisure / shopping complex in there somewhere for this to go ahead |  | | |

It can be complete hooey if they believe it to be true and they own the land, unless they can be forced to hand it over.
Baz may well be correct in that it's part of the whole CrossRail and HS2 development which is publicly funded and part of the Mayor's agenda for London and it's economy. If the GLA think a big QPR fits the mix of business and other developments for the site, presumably also taking into account the freeing up of Loftus Rd form other purposes, then I daresay they may have the power to push it through.
Anyone on here know anything about the relevant planning law and legislation behind Crossrail? | | | |
