Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

Planning in principal "on steroids"......seems Nelmsy needs Mair drugs.

Planning dept busy with other things, transport Scotland not getting answers to questions

Meanwhile DAFC owners are walking away.

Not saying it's likely here but it's a possibility as is the possibility of moving to tannadice.

Not one DFC organisation seems to be asking questions.

I have been having a rest from posting on Mad until I saw your post late last night.
The Dee4life directors have tried to ask John Nelms questions but Nelms informed them via one of his message boys who is also a member of Dee4life at the Dee4life AGM in November 2023 that the Dee4life directors were not welcome in the club’s premises at Gardyne.
I have subsequently read that John Nelms’s door at Gardyne is always open to the DSA.
I can only assume that this is because the DSA committee members will not ask awkward questions to John Nelms otherwise they will also not be welcome at Gardyne.
It my opinion being dependent on Tim Keyes to bankroll Dundee Football Club is a recipe for disaster which could lead to Admin 3 if Tim Keyes decides to end this financing of Dundee Football Club.

I will reply to your list of concerns.
1. Planning Permission in Principle is applying for little more than outline planning permission
£7,800 for the PPIP is cheap. An application for full planning permission would cost a lot more.
About ten years ago I have seen planning applications for full planning permission for a large development on the Argyll and Bute Council website costing upwards of £20,000.
This could be for warehouses to store scotch whisky not a large new stadium development.
2. Using the full planning permission for the Eden Project is in my opinion a lame excuse by John Nelms.
He should have had his full planning application ready to be submitted to Dundee City Council Planning Department shortly after their first Pre Application Notice (PAN) meeting in September 2017 not over six years later in early 2024.
Transport Scotland would have got their answers if they had read the posts on his forum and DBF about the traffic congestion at Myrekirk roundabout and only one underpass close to the top of Buttars loan to allow thousands of spectators who have parked their cars on the opposite side of the A90 Kingsway bypass of Dundee to walk to their cars after the end of the game at new stadium at Campy Nou.
Transport Scotland should use a drone to study the queues of traffic every day throughout the day at the Myrekirk roundabout to get their information.
4. The DAFC owners appear to have originally planned to be there for the long term using their football academy to put a decent Dunfermline FC team on the pitch. However Dunfermline supporters like the supporters of most football clubs want a quick fix to bring success.
In my opinion we should have stuck with Barry Smith as manager especially as the Dundee Football Club directors were not expecting us to be promoted to the Premier League during the Club 12 season and they had drawn up their budgets to play in the Championship during the 2012-13 season.
5. The A shares can block a move to Tannadice and John Nelms knows the powers available to be used thanks to the entrenched rights of the A shares which I can prove.
6. I have answered that question in a separate post.
7. The 2024 General Election has fortunately scuppered Independence for Scotland with the latest GERS figures proving that an Independent Scotland would be far poorer than it is at present.
An extra £2,400 being allocated for every person in Scotland compared to the rest of England and Wales proves this.
8. More delaying tactics by Nelms who is blaming the Eden Project and Transport Scotland for the delay.
If DBPHL’s consultants had provided the information requested by Transport Scotland from the outset things would have moved quicker.
I know that the air quality measurements on Strathmartine Road and the Kingsway are flawed.
The air quality measurements on Strathmartine Road were taken on the wrong side of Strathmartine Road to make them look better than they really are whilst the air quality measurements were not taken close to the Myrekirk roundabout where the traffic is queuing to get through the traffic lights in both directions for most of the day on a daily basis.
Finally. At a Dee4life members meeting held online on Monday 18th March 2024 a Dee4life member in the building trade stated that the indicative date of 12th August 2024 for the DBPHL PPIP application to be discussed by the members of the Dundee City Council Planning Committee was unlikely to happen.
From his experience it was more likely that the meeting would take place in December 2024.
