I know there are a couple of threads on the East already, but the debate on the height of the new stand in comparison to the others seems to be recurring, so I decided to look out the Architect's elevation drawings that were submitted to the council planning department.
If you check these out you will see that both the top row of seats, and the level of the roof pitchside, line with the existing stands. Hopefully that clears things up.
Interestingly, there are now also drawings showing sketch proposals for the micorib cladding to infill the corners.
It looks as though this will be fixed about two fifths of the way up the height of the stands, and have metal access gates at the bottom.

went past the ground this afternoon, and if you look at it from the west then you can clearly see it is the same height as the south.

looking at the revised drawings of the stand submitted on 01/04 the roof is exactly the same height as the south & FF but its angled making the stand look shorter than the others at the moment.
There is gonna be a slope rather than steps on approaching the stand from Albion road.
The original drawings showed a TV Camera gantry at the back of the stand and one in place of the first 4 rows of seats in the middle section, in the latest set of drawing the gantry at the back remains but the front one is gone.

My understanding was that the road network would prevent us building stands in 2 of the corners in the ground?

Not so sure about that, if you look at the drawing properly you will see that it's the West and south stands that are connected by the fill-in.
My take on this is that one drawing will cover all corners, as it will be the same work carried out on each corner.

That would probably look better on the north, east corner as you wouldn't want the Yams to miss out...

Also interesting from the Decision Notice that it looks like they've decided not to do anything on the 1st floor level of the stadium:
The agent has confirmed that; "...there will be no corporate hospitality facilities provided within the new stand." This is confirmed given the proposed internal changes to the stand; removing the proposed multiple internal floors, as contained within the original scheme.
Curious if that is correct, or whether it could still be modified later by adding in a 2nd floor with connecting stairway.

I can't see us needing more internal facilities to be fair, with the famous five and the west fully kitted out I think we would just have empty facilities. IMO

I have been assured that the plans are future proofed in that additional facilities can be added later, the two squared corners can be filled in and extended taking the potential capacity to near 25000. There is the possibility that they will be moving the ‘behind the goals’ bar to the East Stand in the next season or two, but if they do, they would have to change the name. Any suggestions?
The front two or three rows of the West Stand are to be removed to allow for the wider pitch.
The original plans also had a section at the top of the East Stand for TV camera gantry, this was next to the allocated singing section, this is now not going ahead and the camera will be staying in the West Stand.
