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.

This been the telling factor that many on here seem to shut out. The community based nature of the sporting facilities that will benefit the whole district and cost council tax payers next to nothing. Regarding the warehousing units as I understand, a certain multi national company is all ready to relocate into purpose built units at Newmarket. This will bring much needed new jobs into the area. The scheme is so attractive It can't possibly be turned down.

Whats better for greater good of the community and the tax payer will always be the telling factor in this project.

not biased dh, just being realistic.
I don't have a problem with Wakefield building a stadium which is almost in Leeds, but I think LCC have a problem with greenbelt land being used for warehousing that's not needed and the whole scheme as a commercial proposition, appears to rest upon the warehousing and York Properties trying to get around building on greenbelt land through the back door.
I do hope you get a new stadium, as I don't wish to see the end of our derbies, rugby league needs such local rivalry (if only they would realise it), but I do feel the proposed development isn't the way you will get a new stadium.

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).

The empty warehousing in the area belongs to Leeds CC on the industrial estate at Oulton (opposite Newmarket Lane) so it is no suprise they are against the idea if it means they lose further business to WMDC, especially as Warburtons (the bakers) plan to move from there in September and move down to Normanton where they already have premises.

I can't see Xscape sponsoring the stadium to be honest. Just being situated next door will be more than enough to heighten awareness of their facilities.I think if Xscape were going to sponsor the stadium it would have been a done deal by now anyway.

You might be better off sponsoring Xscape if they get that many visitors, just think of all that advertising

As opposed to Wakefield fans being biased in favour of the plans rather than being objective and realising that there are obvious flaws and stuff - already mentioned in the statutory responses - which could potentially delay planning.

All this "jobs" malarky doesn't mean anything. You can build anywhere in the country and it would create jobs.

Castleford, despite having outline planning permission for the last 3 years have failed to secure the relevant funding. Castleford's head man Dickie Wright is a little miffed as to why private companies won't invest into a scheme that will provide them with nothing in return. Recent attempts to get Wakefield on board only go to highlight the desperate situation the Tigers find themselves in regarding funding. In any of his recent statements Dickie Wright has failed to address the funding issue.

Haha, talk about biased. Show me the evidence. Trust me when I say, we're well on our way to being in a new stadium.

You are right mate. The contract for the foundations was sorted last week. Waystone have subcontracted it! It is looking like this is actually going to happen.

You either barely scanned my last post or totally misunderstood it!

We could of had this conversation 3 years ago! What part of "there is no money" do you not understand? No amount of drawings and designs will ever make up for that!

Good Luck btw
