Loading ...Southend United have been given full planning permission by the Secretary of State to build their new 22,00 seater stadium, enabling the club to start building work for an anticipated 2010 opening.
The stadium will feature hotel and conferencing facilities as well as restaurants and retail outlets. It will replace Roots Hall Stadium.
Chairman Ron Martin quoted on Chesterfield FC’s official website:
“Whilst this news was anticipated from the Secretary of State, one can never be sure with planning applications and therefore it is good to get the final approval enabling the Club to press on with the construction,”
“Our programme to be in the new stadium in readiness for the start of the 2010 season remains unchanged.”
“I am also pleased for our many thousands of fans who have had to wait a very long time whilst this complex, and sometimes tedious, process has been conducted.”
“As I have always said, the new stadium will take the Club to a new and sustainable level.”
