So what you are saying is that WMDC have decided that you will get outline planning but it is being held up by certain members of the council in collaboration with the planning officers to further the GH stadium - If I wre you I would get straight onto the local goverment ombudsman !!

what are we exactly compulsary purchasing ??? and i think its leeds city council thats got your number not mr box or are you that stupid you cant see that??

The compulsory purchase is for a few square metre's of grassed area's in front of B&Q, Pizza Hut, Mc Don's and the Ford Showroom to enable the new gyratory road system to be constructed.

im really trying but where is there grass in front of those places and i thought the roads were sorted coming from jct 31 ?? please please dont tell me when the road works are done there is more to come

Bit unnecessary, don't you think Wakefield planning issues have got bugger all to do with Leeds, and any objections they raise will be dealt with by the planning process. When all said and done, Leeds are just a bit narked that Wakey have beaten them to it, cos IF we get permission it probably snookers any chance Leeds have for their side later on.

And as for the compulsory purchase - if I owned any of that land I'd be offering it to the developers at market rates (and then some ) 'cos it must be pretty valuable to the developers - it stops you in your tracks if you don't get it. And if they tried to compulsorarily purchase it at any less than what was a good price I'd be fighting it through the courts.

FWIW, me being a nasty suspicious sod, I think WMDC are playing silly buggers so that they don't have to put any money into either scheme, and they'll blame it on Cas and Wakey pig-headedness!!

Decision was due a week or two ago, but was put back 'til September by WMDC, then Box put his oar in in the Wakey Express saying we should share or there's no money for anyone - sounds like politics to me!

You keep saying WMDC put the application back, Have you read the submissions by the highways agency and others? They are the reasons behind the defferal, without the highways and other statutory bodies issues being seen to they wont even consider it

Someone put the decision back, and that could only be the planners or the applicants - I heard it was the planners, but like everything else on here that is just hearsay. I'm not really up on planning matters - does your full permission rely on you getting your highway matters sorted out (the grassy knoll!) before your outline permission expires?

Oh, that bit!

£3,000,000 please!

I mean unfortunately. It means that "they" can get "their" hands on what "I" have managed to scrape together whenever "they" like at whatever price "they" deem suitable provided that "they" can demonstrate that it's in "the public interest". Doesn't really matter that in this case it could be working in "my" favour.
