We have outline from council, but called into PI, which is in December.

thats what i thought, but its in for outline in fridays planning applications, is this something different

Just a guess. Has ag secured funding for a stadium build for if the pi is negative? We all know the stadium is not the problem but the industrial units around it. Perhaps he's putting in planning for a stadium only so we've got all angles covered whatever the outcome of the inquiry. If so very shrewd as we won't have to wait and start all over again but be able to get on with things in the same time scale. On another note is it possible to apply for planning permission on land that already has an application in process? I don't have a clue maybe ia could shed some light on that? Bigalf I don't want to hear your response as we know you're full of crap and very negative re nm but seem to think gh is plain sailing even after all these years!

Oi!



BTW It is the same Application No. so may be an admin error, or some notice to do with the PI.

Just to clarify. Yorkcourt do not have Outline Planning permission at this time.

Just had a look on WMDC site and this is what is says under important dates, it can only be something to do with 22nd July date, but don't know what ?

It is yet more good news on Newmarket!!!

The reason the Newmarket planning application was advertised in Friday's Wakefield Express if for two reason. An updated Environmental Impact Assessment report has been submitted and this includes design changes to the scheme. Both these things have a legal requirement to be advertised.

So, additional environmental assessment work has been undertaken by a company called TEP in respect of Water Voles and Otters on the site.

The upshot is they have proposed some changes to the ditch layouts (and providing some new ditch and habitat links) and also provided details of how these ditches and ponds should be constructed for Vole and Otters.

The conclusion is that "The proposed [revised] scheme will [now] have a beneficial impact on the Water Vole as a result of habitat creation and a negligible impact on Otter"

I would strongly suspect that this report and the layout changes have been agreed with Natural England prior to the submission of this report. The actual document list a 'Natural England Consultation Response' as been an appendix to the report, but for some reason it is not attached to the version uploaded to the planning portal.

The upshot therefore is that the only remaining significant statutory technical objection, from Natural England, would appear to have been resolved to their satisfaction. Now, Natural England and WYE may continue to object to the scheme, but that would be purely on 'principal' of removing this land from Greenbelt and nothing more. However, that is non-technical and will come back down to the point of what other sites are available to meet the LDF Core Strategy... and at the moment as we know, there does not appear to be any other options!

So, whatever happens on Tuesday, Newmarket continues to take giant strides forward and look ever more likley to happen day by day so we have to keep the pressure up to make sure this happens for future continued economic development, growth and jobs, professional RL and first class community sports facilities in the Wakefield district.

Cheers I_A. It's not going to make you any more popular with the tiggers, although I have heard a rumour that the wildcat tunnel at Belle Vue is to be replaced by an armadillo 'when' we move to NM.

Cur the cretin that is bigalf to try and tell us it's not happening it never will happen and wheldon road sale is sailing along smoothly excuse the pun, it's now going to be bought for 5 trillion and glasshoughton will be built within twelve months.

Let me stop you there. The correct figure is £15 trillion with planning permission granted for a seven storey joint venture food retail outlet being built on the Wheldon Road site with Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsburys & Waitrose all taking a floor each. Glasshoughton has been built in a secret underground facility underneath the big mound of silt next to Xscape. The stands have been sponsored and paid for.

That all sounds very good news. Can I ask this though? If the Widcats lose their licence on Tuesday and in 3 years time GH is still not likely to be ready for the start of 2015 would Cas be within their rights to say to the RFL that they will play at Newmarket until GH is ready. With NM being a community complex for the WMDC area could they decide to take up this option? If so then the Wildcats might struggle to get a license next time around particularly if Cas have been going well on and off the pitch.

They could but they have previously stated they did not want a groundshare and their fans have said they would not watch a team playing out of Newmarket. It would be interesting to hear RW and some of the cas fans back tracking though if this did happen, given that we keep being told GH will be built before Newmarket (and that Newmarket happening at all is doubtful).

Well you all spend enough time stuck in his "tunnel" already so makes sense

The funding of the stadium has absolutely ZERO to do with AG can I make that clear - he is a passenger like the rest of us. We are tenants, the only funding we put towards it as far as I'm aware is the alternative land guarantee put in place by the Council for bot NM and Glasshoughton.

Yorkcourt and the trust of which AG is not a member are responsible for NM we are the anchor tenant.
