Out of curiosity what was there apart from the temporary stand that they're clearing?

Presumably the York one could still be called in by the Secretary of State if those objecting to it from the city centre get their way?

Not alot. Big trees and lots of earth.

This was the area once the temporary stand had being taken down.

Any builder people explain what the black stuff going down where the stand will be built is?

Cant tell what it is from the pic, but its probably some sort of damp proof membrane.

They appear to be covering it with hardcore?

Highly unlikely. After the response we had from them (the government), it's clear they leave all planning applications to local governments and only intervene on 'matters of national importance'.
A 6,000-seater stadium and two shops in York is not that.

It could be a geotextile membrane given they appear to be putting hardcore/6F2 fill over the top of it. In layman's terms it is 'reinforcement' for the ground to improve the ground bearing pressure for a ground-bearing floor slab or possibly to improve the ground bearing for the piling rig, piling mat if the ground is really poor. You mentioned they were piling for the founds, so depending on the state of the ground it could be for either.

I don't think they will call it in but the rest of your statement is highly questionable... it depends whom objects and whom they know!

When I went 2 weeks ago I was informed that there would be piling mats going in.
