I understand that some work may have been done recently on the site of the proposed new ground, this consists of marking out the site etc.

Not sure if this related to the planning application but thought it was of interest to post.

Well according to the supporters of other clubs with new stadium builds that counts as work starting.

If Richard Wright saw someone putting a peg in the ground at Glasshoughton he'd cream himself and then publish an hour long feature film on their website.

All the marking has to be done for full plans to be drawn up, this to me suggests that with planning permission being submitted in oct/nov the trust may be submitting plans for full permission rather than outline permission.
(which for the record is all Cas have)
Which in turn would suggest that we would want to move straight on with the work once it has been rubber stamped. And from what i have been told so far we could be on for the quickest recorded turn around for PP being given out, if you have ever requested anything from WMDC you will understand how long they take, but this could be no more than a formality.
Fingers crossed.

Wonder how far the two stadium projects will have progressed by the time Labour lose control of the Council next May?
Once the Conservatives are running the MDC will they have any changes in mind to the type of support available for the projects?

One would hope they haven’t changed their mind.

These threads fill me with happiness and worry at the same time.

I cant wait for the day I can start abusing Bulls fans for their stadium after the tons of abuse I have taken from them every time they visit ours

Do not think that for one minute.

Even if the council were behind the scheme in principal (and in some respect even more so if they are behind it), they will have to demonstrate that they have viewed the application objectively; considered all the opposition veiws and addressed any problems arising.

We have a [size=200=redMASSIVE [/sizerole to play in this - details to follow shortly!

in due time then let us know know what needs to be done and we can mobilize.

The land is also "green belt" so the planning application will automatically be called in by Government Office.

Planning permission is by no means a formallity and as TRB says we all and the citizens of Wakefield can play a part.

Why would WMDC gift the land if there were any foreseen problems that would come up during the PP process?
By this stage at Thornes we had an action group to fight to build in the park, i really can't see similar levels of opposition to J30.

Let the hard work begin i say!

WMDC have not gifted the land, the land at Stanley belongs to Yorkcourt Properties. WMDC have given land to the Community Trust that they cannot sell but can use as security to borrow money against. Totally separate pieces of land if my understanding is correct.
