Received the same. Nothing we haven't heard from them before. I guess it comes down to a fundamental disagreement between the trust/club and the council over whether Newcold should have counted towards the trigger point. Can only see it ending up in court now, which is probably for the best as at least we'd have a definitive answer either way.

this statement more than covers the council. Do I like it? No. Does anyone but the council like it? No. But newcold doesn't count to the required sqm development, the trust/club didn't object to this, there isn't the 106 agreement in place.so let's be honest here there is no stadium, there won't be a stadium unless privately funded and sir Rodney et al can all take pride in achieving so

Did I miss the bit where they explain why the application for Newcold was passed on a separate agreement without contributing to the build threshold? Or are they just using 'jobs' as an excuse?

“At no point were current members of the stadium trust aware that the Newcold site would not count towards the Unilateral Agreement"
So, which ex member of the stadium trust was aware about the Newcold site?

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?

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?
