Didn't Balne Lane enter the mix at one point?

It certainly was.

It was the other side of Balne Lane bordered by Silcoates Street and Blackthorne Way and realistically was never a viable proposition due to extremely limited access points.

Not sure I totally agree. It was viable if the council had ever seriously wanted it to be, but the investment, the effort and the imagination was always beyond them. So in that respect I agree, it was never on.

About 25% of British stadiums have as bad if not worse access than Balne lane so it’s nowhere near impossible. However most are down to their Victorian legacy, you’d have to seriously question any council in the 21st century that deliberately built one from scratch!

Another couple of Documents today.
I’ve inserted a couple of paragraphs
Consultee Comment. POLICE ARCHITECTURAL LIAISON.

Consultee Comments
I can now detail my observations in relation to the details/plans submitted.
The revised layout has resulted in my previous concerns being addressed and therefore I have no objection to the approval of this application.
The advice provided in respect of the recommended security standards for fencing, doorsets, windows etc. continue to remain.

Consultee Comment. YORKSHIRE WATER

Water Supply
NOTE: A supply can be made available under the terms of the Water Industries Act 1991. However, in this rural area, the available water supply is very limited locally.
We strongly recommend early consultation with our Water Network Engineering team should anything more than domestic use supply be required. Should this be the case, we it is likely that mains reinforcement is required to supply this site.
The costs for this work to be undertaken is high and may be prohibitive to this development.

There s a couple of pages with a fair bit of information, but,
The last line of the above paragraph caught my eye.
I’m sure the developers will have worked out the costing in fine detail for the development, but I’ve seen from recent documents how many organisations and service providers are involved and an idea now of the extra costs involved.
Will there be enough money left to provide for stadium redevelopment.

You'd assume that was in the plans. TBF just looking at the new stand it's clear that the water usage will go up so it's a fair point.

I’m not sure if we’re on the same page Vasty, these documents I’ve been referring to recently, are all linked to the Development at Newmarket Lane, not the Stadium redevelopment.
