thats what ive been told, if they loose, they are more than likely to bare the whole costs of the PI, which will run into thousands, dont shoot me IA, but my the guy who told me works for a specialst on planning issues for very large companies (plc's)

Of course pet........

They can pull out at any time they want and it only costs what it costs, which is not much relatively, until the pubic hearings and the blood sucking advocates come into play and then larger bills start coming in...



Also, it is not Yorkcourt that foot the majority of the bill for a PI is it... Wakefield MDC do!

The bespoke timetable will be published this Thursday/Friday unless they say before then, that they do not wish to proceed.

51Ha almost guaranteed, or 85Ha at god knows what extra planning costs plus £15 million for a stadium?

I bet Yorkcourt know what they can afford

But you are assuming that Wakefield MDC's current and longer term tacit agreements with Yorkcourt are simply about this site... lots of sites and section 106 agreements to go at across the district in the next plan period!

PS. I don't actually know anything at all BTW... just how these things work!

Bloody hell, almost missed that gem... so have you conceded this one to the power of the LDF?

I_A Just out of interest what other developments have Yorkcourt ongoing at the moment, apart from Paragon ( Only approx 50% completed after 5 years +) ?

Not quite, but I said almost, lets see on the 24th!

I have no idea mate, I don't have any professional dealings with them (despite people on Cas Forum thinking I have

) they might not have any TBH, but suspect that they may have quite a few sites on their radar. Paragon is a good example of the long-haul view of these types of developers though... it was 1986 when they first started looking at that site! The only reason Paragon is not further along is the recession and current oversupply of office space in West Yorkshire... remember it is mixed use office development not B8. I suspect they did quite well out of a government funded project on the site though...
