so what's the trusts next move here?

The Trust didn't object because they (bar one) didn't know - if you're going to troll do it well please.

There is a s106 planning obligation.
They still haven't answered the question of why they as planning authority allowed newcold to come outside the planning obligation. Pleading innocence that "nobody objected" doesn't wash with me. As the authority charged with ensuring the planning obligation they shouldn't have created a loophole for the contractors.
They also claim that they've tried to attract businesses to the site over the last 4 years. I'd like to see the evidence.

Ted?

Thought Ted went to Harrogate, not sure about Eric though!

If the trust didn't come forward with an objection (which I highly doubt) why would the council not turn it down? I'm not a planning expert however I'd like to think they have the power to do so?

Hmmmm, multiple persona?

Maybe the trust as a whole didn't because they didn't know, maybe just one person did?

You'd think this was obvious by now wouldn't you

Even if that one person did, and didn't object, surely the council have the authority to turn the application down? I'd like to know the reason why the council passed the PP, what do they benefit?

Sorry but i'm not sure how the trust didn't know the Newcold build didn't count? It was there for all to see on the planning portal 5 days after the the application went in and 3 months before the decision was made. And the Cas fan that used to come on here told us all several times! It clearly states the following....

[iRecent Planning History
The proposed site is set within a planned large mixed use development where Outline Planning consent has already been previously granted by the Secretary of State. The outline approval consists of a community stadium, multi-use games area, B8 warehousing and distribution units, B1b and B1c business units, a hotel and an A3 unit, roads infrastructure and landscaping.
Details of the extant outline consent are filed under Wakefield District Council ref:10/00225/OUT and The Planning Inspectorate Ref;APP/X4723/U/11/2144563. The proposed application site is situated within the northern half of Plot 7 indicated on the approved site master plan. Plot7 is allocated for a large B8 warehouse on the approved layout and is within the allocation in the adopted local plan and related access corridor designation. The proposed building height is above that identified on the current outline approval, therefore an application for All Matters Reserved was not deemed appropriate. This detailed application is a standalone application and in no way legally ties it to the extant outline consent mentioned above. The outline approval has however been carefully considered to ensure the proposed scheme integrates with it and in no way prejudices the implementation of any development controlled by that consent.

Now whether you agree that this should have been the case is a different argument altogether (and i believe it should have been) but i find it difficult to believe the trust members didn't look up the application themselves and if they didn't how is that the councils fault, especially when they reiterated it in a meeting with the trust chairman? I'm not sure we can blame the council for that one.
