Get in there!

Time to start putting the right motions in place to take this forward.....

Just need a timeline on when this Opus planning consent will be put through

Erm yeah, that's not looking too great. Do we have to wait for another planning permission to drag on before we can even start building? Could be another few years...

Are we waiting for full planning approval or just approval for the current land to be used for a supermarket?

No idea, seems Dickie needs to answer these questions for the benefit of both the fans and the RFL

It's noticable that that is not clear in the comments.



Legally no, we could start building now. Financially it seems so. Maybe there's some money in the coffers to make a start but we won't be able to complete until Opus Land (North) Ltd and Palmer Capital make the funds available.

I agree I think it's certainly something that needs to be cleared up!
But based upon previous statements that we should be in by 2013 surely this would mean something along the lines of approval or outline planning surely!

"As part of this agreement, Opus Land (North) Ltd and Palmer Capital will fully fund the new Stadium construction immediately once planning permission has been granted for the current site. "

Hmm didnt see that before today

I don't think it had been mentioned before!

Now wait for all the usual WC fans to come along and say you haven't got the funding in place!

You never know...feisal might lend us a few bob

Congratulations... not that it was ever in any doubt BTW!

So the Opus funding/purchase will be reliant on them getting outline planning for a superstore development on WR, then you can have the fund to start on GH (if indeed that is still the longer term plan!!).

So, yes, and Outline application will now be required for WR to free up the funding/purchase for the GH build to start.

So, still a journey to be made yet guys but would hope that getting outline on WR for a superstore development could be as early as the end of this year. To be fair, this is what the club think as well, given they said start on GH would be early in 2012.

Opus (and the club?) just now need outline permission for a superstore development on WR and they will go for reserved matters later, exactly as happened with this GH application.

Once outline is granted it would appear Opus will fund or purchase the WR site to finance the building of GH.

Outline on WR could potentially be done and dusted by the end of this year... but, of course, nothing is certain!

As my mate bigalf would say - get those superstore plans in Righty!

Good luck to you, just hope now fans respect what they get and don't get the club fined every few months.
