My wife and I asked Emelda MacLean two questions about the site which she could not answer.
Nelms states in his statement that they (Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited) looked at the site where the Eden Project is to be situated but rejected it due to transport issues.
The council also told them about the site at Camperdown.
The question I would like John Nelms to answer.
Did he (Nelms) tell Dundee City Council that Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited (DBPHL) were wanting to build a new sports centre similar to the aborted one at Caird Park on the site at Camperdown or the former gas works in Dock Street.
Alternatively did John Nelms tell Dundee City Council that DBPHL were planning to build a 15,000eater new football stadium, crematorium, hotel, shops and luxury housing on the site at Camperdown or the site of the former gas works in Dock Street
I am assuming that the Dundee City Council officials in June 2016 thought that DBPHL were only planning to build a new large sports centre at the site of the old gas works in Dock Street or at the former NCR Camperdown playing fields otherwise the Dundee City Council officials would have never suggested these sites.
Sorry Islay, don't understand the point you are trying to make. What is the difference between a large sports centre and a football stadium? Surely the large sports centre at Caird Park was needing access from a trunk road, so what's the reason why the stadium can't be built using an access road of a different section of the same trunk road.
