Saint-Armstrong Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 Nothing confirmed of course, but go to Pg. 134 of this: http://www.southampton.gov.uk/Images/CCMP%20public%20consultation%20version_tcm46-314213.pdf Mentions of a "Saints Square" and other developments near the waterside and ground.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 Just ideas at the moment and if they do happen it will be many years away...
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 nice find. sounds as if the council are very keen to to develop the waterside and st marys stadium together
dune Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 It seems to me that St Marys stadium is prime for yuppy flats.
saints_is_the_south Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 Would be great to see this happen. Been saying for years they need to do something with the waterfront surrounding the stadium. Obviously years off yet but hope they put some quality bars & restaurants down there.
B Rabbit Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 I wouldn't get too excited...i see and do these kind of masterplan exercises all the time...they rarely come to fruition...and if they do..it's years and years and years down the line and invariably ends up looking nothing like what is proposed early on.
This Charming Man Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 It'll never happen. They'll just do the usual and build some more flats.
latter day saint Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 It'll never happen. They'll just do the usual and build some more flats. isn't that whats on the plans ?
This Charming Man Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 isn't that whats on the plans ? There's also plans for hotels, bars, restaurants, shops, monuments and museums.
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 The document doesn't make sense. On the one hand it talks about aggregates companies using the waterside and not being available for development, and then shows precisely that??
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 The document doesn't make sense.

It says its safeguarded until 2030, but if an aternative site can be found then they can be relocated sooner
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 By the way, I'm all for yuppie flats! It'll push up the value of mine (and before Sour Mash says it, I AM a WORKING man - still in my office, still working!!!!)
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 It says its safeguarded until 2030, but if an aternative site can be found then they can be relocated sooner Gotcha - where else would they go though? Presumably they need water or they wouldn't be there??

Spudders Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 I wouldn't get too excited...i see and do these kind of masterplan exercises all the time...they rarely come to fruition.... Indeed, just look at the skates plans a few years ago for their waterside mega stadium, transport interchange & hotel complex! How's that coming along :lol:
CLOTH EARS Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 (edited) I used to work on Town Depot for Southampton City Council. Most of the site is now going to be demolished as most of the departments have been moved elswhere.However, part of the site will be used by Southampton City Council for 2 more years i gather, so nothing will happen untill after then. The rumour was a couple of years back that a Ski dome was going to be built on the site encompassing the area leased by Travis Perkins and the businesses in Ryde terrace. A couple of things also to mention about Town depot. The land is contaminated so it has to remain disused for a period of time also there are some old brickworks under the site that date back to the 17th century so whether this has the potential to hold things up i do not know. There is also rumours of tunnels under the site that lead up to St Michaels church, this may or may not be true, i can't find them documented anywhere. The land also needs to be raised as it has flooded in the past whilst there has been high tides. Take all of these things into account and you will see that nothing will happen anytime soon (years).

The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 There is also rumours of secret tunnels under the site that lead up to St Michaels church, this may or may not be true, i can't find them documented anywhere. I reckon the reason the secret tunnels are not documented is because they're, you know, secret.
CLOTH EARS Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 I reckon the reason the secret tunnels are not documented is because they're, you know, secret. I have reoved the word Secret shhhhhh. Do you think anyone will notice?

CLOTH EARS Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 :lol: There are to many wise guys on here for me....Ah well back to Facebook ;-)
The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 I have reoved the word Secret shhhhhh. Do you think anyone will notice? i think you'll be fine, no-one will pick up on that.
Secret Site Agent Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 Gotcha - where else would they go though? Presumably they need water or they wouldn't be there?? Well, as it's sea dredged aggregates, i can't see them wanting to relocate in land, and where else can they get what they have here? Hansons and Tarmac are even considering EXPANDING on the site of the old TV station.
lordswoodsaints Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 I know for a fact that the old council depot/Balfour beatty yard is contaminated and is part of the reason they moved to the new place down millbrook.
Brizzie Saints Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 The land is contaminated so it has to remain disused for a period of time also there are some old brickworks under the site that date back to the 17th century so whether this has the potential to hold things up i do not know. I thought the rumour about the skate shirt buried under the pitch was proved to be Just the usual Pikey bullsh1t
lambertsrightleg Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 at one of the chairmans dinners he mentioned something about re developing the waterfront actually. i wasn't really paying attention though
hamster Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 The railway is the key. I know for a fact that any plans are. Based on that being a given. Hint. American Wharf is still for sale. Check out the price and the owner.
hamster Posted 9 May, 2012 Posted 9 May, 2012 No. Only me and possibly dell days know the truth. Trust nOone.
capitalsaint Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 I know the truth, but recently forgot it after a blow to the head. PM me.
Legod Third Coming Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Though your recent posting spree would suggest not very hard... Hey, everyone needs a break!
Legod Third Coming Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 No. Only me and possibly dell days know the truth. Trust nOone. Jees, I actually watched X File the Movie on Monday night *****il 2am - paying for it now). Are there bees involved?
Brittanysaint Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Tarmac will merge with Lafarge in the next 6 months and have been told that they must sell off parts of their business by the monopolies commision, just a though that the Tarmac area here could be involved? Cemex office area and buildings ( which take up a large area ) are almost empty as many staff there have been made redundant over the last couple of years. However, can't see Hanson or Cemex wanting to give up there water front aggregates areas.
GenevaSaint Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Why oh why have you started another thread. This document is already on the stadium expansion thread! It's on there as its relevant to that not in general.
