Still waiting



Seriously though, a big thank you to all those who’ve spent endless hours involved in this process, with special mention to TRB & I.A, who’s efforts must be applauded, especially when the latter has his rugby passion elsewhere.

What he said !!!!

Brilliant news for the club, city and district. Well done to all those who have committed so much time and effort to the project. We salute you!

Now it's party time, I've been saving the good stuff for such a celebratory occasion. Time to sink the Tesco own brand beer!

I know it's slightly negative, but I'll save my celebrations until I take my seat there for the first match. Everyone slags Cas off for pictures with diggers and crowing about various planning permissions, so I'll wait until it's built.

Another step closer!

Here is a copy of the decision letter and final planning conditions -

Can't access that?

The key conditions as far as the stadium build goes are as follows -

49. Within 4 calendar months of the date of the approval of the final reserved matter relating to the proposed stadium, MUGA and related infrastructure the developer shall produce to the LPA for their approval:

(i) a full tender construction pack including a form of construction contract and contract completion period for the proposed stadium, MUGA and related infrastructure within the area shown on drawing 2009-039/834B – Stadium Site Plan; and
(ii) a draft of the proposed lease of the stadium and related facilities (as shown on drawing 2009 – 039/834B – Stadium Site Plan) to the Wakefield and District Community Trust.

50. No part of the A3, hotel and no more than 4,716m2 of the B1b and B1c units shall be occupied prior to the letting of a construction contract for the proposed stadium, MUGA and related infrastructure within the area shown on drawing 2009 – 039/834B – Stadium Site Plan.

51. No more than 60,000m2 of the B8 development shall be occupied unless and until the stadium is completed to its design capacity of 12,000 so as to be capable of staging a Rugby Super League match attended by the public and the stadium and its ancillary elements have received all necessary safety and other certificates to allow it to be used for that purpose.

Try it again... didn't get the permissions correct.
