Having had previous knowledge of the Salford stadium application it will go to regional office. They will then sit on it for 3 months before referring it to the secretary of state. (Public enquiry) A decision will then be made 6 months after it was first called in.
I would expect you will have a planning decision by about March/April 2011.

Best of luck and Keep the faith . . it's taken my club Salford 10 years just to get on site!!

Won't that simply be too late for us? Applications for next round of SL licences have to be submitted by November this year, with the announcements on who is in/out in Spring 2011. How can we expect to have the stadium completely sorted by then? It looks like the [iAngry Residents [/idon't actually have to get the planning application knocked back - the delay due to the planning process may well spoil any chance of a new stadium being delivered in time to keep us in Super League. And if the stadium aspect of the planning application becomes unrequired, then how are the developers going to sell the entire deal to the council?

It would be too late and I imagine 1 of 2 things happening.

1: Trinity lose their license and cease to exist. The development still gets the go ahead but without the stadium and community facilities.

2: Trinity lose their license, the development gets the in ahead but the stadium is scaled down to reflect the league status of the club.

Of course the whole thing may not get approval but I don't think that will happen.

I may be way off the mark here, but I thought the stadium deal had sod all to do with the council and more to do with the canny person who sold the land to the developers in the first place. But I also thought one of the prerequisites for the sale was the development of a stadium. And if the council have to lay off a large number of their own employees with the planned public spending cuts, do you think they'll turn their noses up at a private development that aims to create about 1,000 new jobs in the area?

I would like to inform you of another group, Wakefield Against New Grounds Even Rugby Stadia. WANGERS will do anything to stop this new stadium from happening.

Thanks

alcho-

pops... jeeeze

there's nothing wrong with WANGERS infact I honestly think they need all the support they can get, in fact I'm even willing to give them my hands on experience

I dont think anyone wants to watch you with your "hands on" no matter how experienced you are, best kept behind closed doors.
