Don't think there's a chance of Wakefield getting planning permission in 2 months, don't forget Leeds City Council are against the plans, also not sure how you will get permission for building unwanted warehousing on greenbelt land (there's lot's of empty warehousing in the area).
Don't claim to know all the details, but surely the fact that the warehousing would be concentrated in one place just off the motorway is better than having loads of different units spread here there and everywhere.
This would be particularly important for someone who requires large distribution space (they won't want to have separate locations in the same area).
Yorkcourt have obviously done their homework on both the planning issues and the requirement for the units. They and whoever is providing them with the funding for the wider development would expect to see some evidence that there are prospective purchasers for units on the site before willing to commit what would be a very large sum to the project.
As has been said before, NM will go ahead at some stage (I'm sure Yorkcourt are willing if necessary to wait until the land is reclassified in the next couple of years), its just a question of whether there will be a stadium there if the planning is not approved this time around.
