Sir Bob Murray Claims Sunderland Housing Plan Will 'Landlock Stadium of Light Forever'
SUNDERLAND, TYNE AND WEAR, ENGLAND, AUG 11 – Sir Bob Murray warns that removing a protective buffer zone around the Stadium of Light risks blocking future expansion and limits its use for football matches and events.
- Sir Bob Murray CBE claimed Sunderland City Council’s latest plan risks permanently landlocking the Stadium of Light and abandons protections.
- Last month, the Sheepfolds development scheme submitted a plan for up to 600 homes near the Stadium of Light, risking landlocking according to Sir Bob Murray.
- The plan wiped out a protective buffer zone in the city’s own blueprint a few years ago, despite the Riverside Sunderland SPD requiring development to avoid hindering stadium operations.
- Warning of restrictions, the club said later this week Sunderland AFC will object, citing risks of landlocking the Stadium of Light and limiting events.
- In response to objections, Sunderland City Council says the Sheepfolds plan will not impact any planned stadium expansion, citing robust assurances and statutory consultation.
