According to the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert, a spokeswoman for the property consultants CBRE being employed by Otium Entertainment Group to obtain land for a new stadium for Coventry, has said that they are not yet at the planning stage.
Eleanor Deeley, of CBRE, said to Simon Gilbert of the Coventry Teelgraph: “The team is only contacting organisations which we feel – based on expert advice - to be relevant at this early stage in the whole development process.
“The planning consultant is correct that if we were preparing a planning application right now we would have contacted many of those on the list provided.
“However, as we have outlined previously, we are not at the stage of submitting a planning application. We are currently purchasing the land.
“This is why we are working with professional planning consultants – they assess the potential for planning on a site such as this.
“We said at the forums we are working towards applications on two sites. Everything is geared to that but we will not be at the stage of submitting the applications until the land is purchased.”
