Not actually seen detailed plans, but if Barratts aren't using the Chamberlain Road side off the site for access, leaving the 'dirt track', they would have to think of using Woodhall street and Ashendon Close, so i hope those residents get behind any opposition as well.

If it does go ahead will the people buying the new housing be warned about the proposed 'composting' development at Foster Street?

it explains why the Council were so keen to make Rockford Field a 'Nature Reserve', knowing we would lose Reckitt's.

other than sentiment, what are your reservations/objections?

Im no land price expert but for that area that seems a very low value

I actually quoted a figure from the HDM online article which stated that Mr Singh had had the land valued at £300k but Barratts have offered the owner of Hull Brewery millions for it.

Oddly enough that quote has now disappeared from the online article and in its place "Mr Singh has called for the land's private owners to reconsider an offer put forward by a syndicate of investors he was involved with who wanted to retain the whole of the site for sporting use."

To be honest though Mr Singhs in a no lose situation either way though is he

someone/anyone?

I have no objections, but it doesn't affect me.

that is what I am trying to find out, people are objecting but not detailing why, which is often the case, if people have genuine concerns then fair enough, but if some local wannabe is making waves for self-purpose and people are getting caught in the tide then there is no genuine reason to have blocked the development.

I think the main objection is the increase in traffic down Chamberlain road, which to be fair is busy enough already.

I haven't put the reasons why I wrote to the Council to object on this thread because the thread isn't about objections but would Hull FC be still involved. I can list the reasons if you really want me to but I assume (rightly or wrongly) that you don't live around here and know the area, Foredyke Stream cycle track, Pennine Cycle Trail, the owner of Brooklands as well as those that do so you probably aren't interested one way or another if Barratts build houses or not. Not having a dig, just don't feel the need to justify myself on here

If you want to see my list of objections (and those of 500 others) than they are all documented at the Planning Office at Kingston House, Bond Street for the public to see.

Standee, with all due respect there is only one reason and one reason alone you want to know my objections and that is to rip it to shreads and I am not getting into that with you. I have not posted them on here because it would be thread drift, the thread is about whether Hull FC will still be involved now the plans have been given the go ahead, plain and simple. I'll debate that with you till the cows come home but not about why I objected to something in a city that you don't even live in.

so, you are admitting that your objections are sentimental and not based on reality, that is fine, and not unusual.

the insular nature of Hull and some of it's folk is quite laughable, I am genuinely interested in the objections that people have, but I doubt very much they go beyond nimbyism and whistful memories, and if they do, then I'll agree and applaud.

It's 2012, maybe some people need a reality check?
