Taste is a matter of..... err taste. It's subjective.

I'd love to hear some good news about Newmarket.

Indeed. Lets stay on topic please.

Weren't we supposed to hear some news last Thursday and then Friday? These unfulfilled tweets from AG have got me worried (again). TRB do you have any updates?

Yes. We met with Sir Rodney last night and we had it confirmed that the application had been completed by the deadline of 4th April. Outline planning is now granted for the whole development at NM, which of course is in addition to the site having been removed from Green-belt.

There is a lot - and I mean a lot - of positive stuff going on in the background, but I have to ask for patience once more as it is a complex situation and the economic climate adds a few challenges.

I'm not entirely sure why the press release has not hit yet, but it will. After that, although we will be maintaining dialogue and encouraging the release of information it may well all go quiet again for a while.

We (reps for SWAG, RfN and ST) were very pleased with the work being done - both quality and quantity - and having Sir Rodneys reasurring presence is a real blessing.

Regretfully, due to the major balancing act currently ongoing, there is much we cannot divulge and some things that were alluded to but kept from us due to their commercially sensitive nature. This will no doubt frustrate many of you, but once we have agreed some wording with Sir Rodney then we will issue a little bit more detail.

HTH

By not granted I assume you mean now granted?
Be careful you'll have computers beeping over on the nutjob forum

One poxy letter!!!!

So just to clarify that Andrew Glovers blurb in last weeks programme and his recent tweets about full planning are wrong and we are still just at the outline stage?

I think you have to be careful when speaking about full, detailed, outline planning as the terminology can be mis-construed.

What AG meant was that we have full outline planning. That is the 4th April deadline was met by Yorkcourt and therefore all conditions have been met and the Secretary of State will issue the document that confirms the Outline Consent.

This is great news as obtaining Outline Consent is always the difficult part and having gone through a Public Inquiry you will know what I mean.

As TRB has said a great deal of work in now going on to pull together the Detailed Application for the Stadium which in this difficult economic climate is not easy as there is likely to be a number of partners involved.

This is all good news and as TRB has said we will all need to be patient as things come together but we will all be informed of progress as it happens and when information can be divulged.

Not quite - he's not wrong - we have FULL OUTLINE - the detailed application will relate to the design of the stadium only. What we know now is that we can build a stadium on that piece of land.

We haven't even applied for detailed PP yet as this will reflect the partners involved.

Congratulations and thanks to all involved. I still feel that there is someway to go with this, but another important step.
