I'm sorry but Darlington cricket club should not have full planning consent for residential development. That land was designated for sporting purposes only and I can't believe nobody has objected to this proposal. I refuse to even enter that cricket ground as they are a disgrace to the town. Harsh but true.

Re: Darlington cricket club
Personally I think this is all brovado by the cricket club sticking two fingers up at us.
Can we have the name of the builder please? I bet it isn't a national one, as they would run a mile over this development as there are too many obstacles to overrun - ie access, potential flooding issues etc.
They can go ahead and build but only a fool would buy a house their beacuse there is too many risks- despite what anyone else says, the housing market is as flat as a pancake at the moment - and there wouldn't be the returns on the development.

The builders are the Esh group who bought the land years ago.

I earn more than 40 grand a year and I'm a dimwit. Well, I went to Carmel anyway. Personally I think it'd be nice to enter talks with the Cricket Club on a way forward/return to Feethams.

Re: Darlington cricket club
Did the Skerne ever flood the football ground? The pitch problems we had were down to poor drainage. Anyway isn't the Victoria Embankment side lower?potential flooding issues etc.
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883
Re: Darlington cricket club
It seems that planning approval was granted in 2009, but no sign of any building work yet. Doesn't the approval run out this year?

Re: Darlington cricket club
The cricket club dont own the land any more. They sold it to the Esh group , who have full planning permission to build houses .

Re: Darlington cricket club
I'd like to understand more about the planning permission rather than the geophysical issues. Sporting covenants are covenants when all said and done.

Re: Darlington cricket club
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will) but my understanding is Esh have paid a deposit on the land to the CC which give them first refusal at the price of £1.7m which is why the comment about us needing £1.7m to buy the land comes from.
I think it's wrong that they've been allowed planning permission on the land given it was supposedly left in trust for sporting use however it's now too late to do much about this - getting that overturned would take too long so IMO it's not an option if we want to be back in Darlington within a decent timeframe.
I'd like to see the campaign to save it kept up though as the CC should never have been allowed to cash in, it's just a shame our eyes were off the ball at the time planning was being sought - if action had been taken then who knows...

Well how can you be so stupendously unable to absorb information then? It's not as if the fact that Esh bought the land has not been said a million times or anything.

Re: Darlington cricket club
Why not move the council offices to the arena. Plenty of space there seeing as they are closing down all their departments apart from the management levels, so less staff to put in, and bulldoze the Town Hall and build a ground there adding in the old bus station land as well. It's on Feethams roundabout so could still be classed as Feethams.
