I'd better get my brick bought quickly then!

Cracking news!! Awesome way to cap off the last week or so! Thank you cas, you've made my Christmas!

Excuse my complete ignorance in the planning application laws, but does this put you in any different position to Wakefield, who have made a planning appliction, which has been called for government approval?

After all by submitting a planning application you are not guaranteed that the council will approve it?

Not having a pop, hope everything goes well and there is a 13,000 stadium in Castleford in the near future, just curious.

Outline planning permission has already been granted for us. This is just handing in the final designs for the OK.

And this land isnt greenbelt, has already been earmarked for development, and the stadium has no objections to it.

Yes, lots.

Wakefield have no planning permission, Cas do. This is the final sign off of decisions so that we can get full planning permission.

Wakey have applied for outline planning permission, which has been referred to the SoS. If they get that confirmed they will still have to go through the full planning permission process that Cas are going through now.

Surprised this question hasn't been asked: how long till we get a decision?

great news sorry i cant be there as im working .will be keeping every thing CROSSED as we reach the final part of the planning permission.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL CAS FANS,

As outline PP has been granted and FPP seems a formality how far have your club gone in appointing contractors?
Have tenders gone out? Or have they been recieved back and being scrutinised or has a contractor be awarded the deal?
Just interested as I really want Cas to be ready in the new place for the start of 2012 season.
Hope it all goes well for you!

Outline planning permission must be applied for 1st. This is, as the name suggests, when an outline of the proposed build is presented for approval. Its at this point that objections are heard and considered and the government have the opportunity to call the plan in for further scrutiny.

Castleford went through this in 2008 without any hitches.

Wakefield did this only a couple of months ago and although approved by the council the plan has now been called in for consideration by the government which will result in a sizeable delay even if the plan is ultimately approved.

Once OPP has been granted a detailed planning application has to be submitted within 3 yrs. This provides the exact plans of the proposed build based on architects designs. Provided the new design does not differ markedly from the outline plan the granting of planning permission should occur within weeks of the application.

Castleford are about to submit this. Wakefield have to wait until the government is satisfied with the outline planning permission before they can do so.

Well done cas, I for one, hope you pull it off, and your finances are in place. As for us, we will have to see, I have a strong feeling our inquiry is going to be dealt with much sooner than anyone thought.
But for now, your Xmas turkey is gonna taste that bit sweeter than ours.
Like I said I hope it all goes well, and it makes your Xmas and new year!!!

Going to be a good day for Cas, heard lots of different stories but if outline planning permission was granted in 2008, what's been the reason for the delay in waiting for full permission?

Removal of the Hicksons Licence which has prevented us from selling The Jungle, a challenging economic climate, etc etc.

Thank you for this clarification, which does show how this differs from the Wakefield situation, however.

I have just read the planning regulations and it states that Outline Planning Permission is just no objections in principal and is not a consent to build. Detailed planning permission has to be submitted for consent, however these could still be refused.

I hope that everything goes well and you have good reasons to celebrate. For me its just a shame that Wakefield wont consider a ground share, as Glasshoughton is in Wakefield postcode area after all.
