Don't know if it has been posted on here, but apparently Leeds Planners, I assume they are Leeds District are asking for the application to be called in. That would probably massively delay the planned start date of February

Just like Sheffield asked for the Leeds arena to be called in, but guess what, it wasn't.
There have been 0 public inquiries called since the Con-Dems took office in May. Can't see this being the exception.

If called in yes. Fortunately it's not up to LCC. Besides if the worst was to happen Trinity have a plan B.

A new collection bucket ????????????????????????????

Did Rod buy it ?????????????????????

"8.14 Finally, para 8.3 of the Site Allocations document identifies that Wakefield’s economy
is inextricably linked with that of the wider Leeds City region and needs to take full
advantage of opportunities presented by the continued growth of the Leeds
economy. Aire Valley Leeds a 1,000 hectare site to the south of Leeds is the most
significant employment opportunity within the Leeds City region. This represents a
more appropriate location for large scale warehousing and freight distribution linked
to an urban eco settlement if a more appropriate site cannot be found within
Wakefield district.
8.15 In addition, there are employment sites in Leeds District has the following sites which
are available now or in the short term where plots of this size could be offered, as
follows:

Therefore, it comes down to four sites that would be impacted by the proposed
scheme. Of these, it would be the Bellwood, Skelton Moor and Skelton Grange sites
that feature most prominently in Leeds’ regeneration ambitions in AVL."

So once you have cut through the bullsh*t, they want the jobs and warehouses for themselves....

It's nice to see LCC's frothing outrage; for once, WMDC are refusing to act like vassals and clearly, they don't like it up 'em.

That really is taking the proverbial. LCC = Uber-NIMBY's.
