Likely or wishful thinking? No one knows until the Planning Inspector holds the Inquiry




This is completely untrue! In the LDF (which is yet to be adopted) WR has been rejected as a housing only site, and is now part of a wider Special Policy Area - Keep Up

BTW at this moment in time WR is not classed anything, other than "White Land"

Confirmed also by.................................................................I_A.

So do you have to wait until the land is classified before you put in your application?

If it's not classified yet then you would assume that it would have to be judged upon current legislation (UDP) & not legislation that is about to be brought in (LDF)- just as NM was judged on UDP classification of being partially greenbelt.

Not wanting a slagging match (as NM will be delivered well before IMO ) just wanting your opinion.

I think with all that's happened since it was called in the signs are all pointing in the direction of a positive outcome, don't you agree?

Yep, and I fear it will be just in time to save Cas' bacon in the next franchise round! Cas playing in Wakey with Wakey in NL1 - nightmare scenario (for Cas as well, I reckon)?

Enlighten me.

Forget it Alf, I thought you were well informed and would know which developments I'm referring to.

Yeah, it's only a trifling £15 million quid - forget it!

I take it your condemnation extends to all those who regularly attack the people of castleford too. It's just that you seem to have forgotten to quote the hundreds of posts from wakefield fans where they have made cruel and childish remarks and chosen to respond to one of the few posts where a castleford retaliates with a like for like comment.

I do. As far as I'm aware the Stadium is the core part of the development, without which it won't go ahead!

You need to understand, there is no connection between Yorkcourt and the club. The Staddium is being built for the trust who again have no connection with the club as a business. We will just be tenants, we won't own it though we may operate it. Yorkcourt should they get past the PI and are still wanting to go with the development will build the stadium as planned regardless of Wakefields current plight.

I know it sounds odd but that is how these things work.

The revised Travel Plan is something that should have been dealt with at the original submission. It is only one part of the Inquiry terms of reference.

I doubt that the fact that Leeds City Region ( A partnership bringing together the eleven local authorities of Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield, York and North Yorkshire County Council) announcing that “Aire Valley” ( Stourton) is their preferred location for the Enterprise Zone will have much bearing on the Leeds City Council submission to PI.

- It could even bolster the position of Leeds City Council who will want to attract as much development to that area rather than seeing it lost to NM.

So, enlighten me as to any other "developments".
