Bath Stadium can go ahead after government decides not to call in

Transcript

00:00Bath Rugby's new stadium is set to go ahead after the government decided not to call in the application.

00:08Bath and North East Somerset Council's planning committee had given the scheme their support last week,

00:13but had been told to wait for specific authorisation before granting planning permission

00:19so that the government could decide whether it wanted to decide it itself.

00:24But today, Bath Rugby says it has been told by the Secretary of State

00:28that he would not call in the scheme.

00:31It means that Bath and North East Somerset Council can formally issue the planning permission.
