the erection of a statue, to the north-eastern side of the outer stadium pedestrian
concourse. This is a joint venture between Wembley National Stadium Limited
(WNSL) and Rugby Football League (RFL).
The application seeks consent for a statue of a
certain size at this stage. The detailed design is to be unveiled at a later
date, though the submission does specify this to be a bronze statue place on a
steel base, also that it is to be Rugby Football League themed and a tribute to
the sportThe plinth would be 1.5m high and the statue itself 3.3m, making a total 4.8m from ground level.
