Re: The Problem With Newmarket : Wed Jan 27, 2010 5:16 pm  

As a Stanley resident, a Rhinos supporter and construction professional I have already made my views known on previous threads and also endeavoured to give an unbiased professional view... so will not comment as such on this on-going thread.

However, this did seem to be the best thread to post this news on as I did not really want to start a new one.

I have just rung the planning office to get the application number so I can keep track of the application for professional reasons... and they have not submitted it yet! They did say they have been and are expecting it, but it is not in yet!

Just thought you should all know.

I think most on here do know already - it is frustrating that it hasn't happened yet, but it IS imminent!

Keep watching folks!

Apologies if it has been posted before, but with an 18 page thread I didn't trawl through them all.

No worries!

without wanting to dismiss the residents around newmarket too lightly surely the fact is that they live smack next to a motorway and a spent coal mine. this is not a leafy part of north yorkshire nor is it a thatched house in devon. the fact is wakefield is an industrial city who s proximity to the motorway network is its lifeblood by providing a perfect distribution hub. that is the reason companies like coca cola choose to invest millions in building their factories and warehouses here. in the same way many years ago that the coalmine was on newmarket lane.

sorry but if you want rolling countryside you bought the wrong house !

It always stikes me as funny that posters comment on how bad it is that something hasn't happened yet, without knowing what the individual milestones are on the project plan. Just because the application isn't in yet, does not mean we won't get it in with the planning office in time to deliver the stadium on plan.

I think you are misjudging Inflatable Armadillo - he posted several weeks ago with very interesting opinions and information.

He is a Leeds supporter living in Stanley, therefore neutral, and having seen the plans he was very impressed by them, completely in favour of the development and confident the planning permission would go through.

Thank you Catwoman.

It was purely meant to be a factual post based on first hand information of calling the planning office yesterday.

In reply to the OP I do understand that they want to start the enabling and highway works in April and this, while maybe not being on the critical path on the programme (I don't know, I have not seen it), was they said, driving the proposed stadium start in late 2010. As such, it does need to go in as soon as they feel able to submit, because if it does get called in by the Secretary of State's office, it will delay things slightly longer. You can pull back weeks, but months is harder!

Listen, I want to flog the successful Main Contractor(s) our steelwork, so in this current market place the quicker the better for me! Plus we are quite good at stadia, so I do want to get on the tender list.
