once OPUS have planning permission they will be handing over the cheque to Cas for the price of the land (enough to cover the entire stadium build and a bit more).

PP won't be straightforward! Asda will object, town centre shops may object, Highways Agency will object (though their's will perhaps be relatively easy to accommodate), and local residents may object.

Could even go to PI.

BTW - how much do you think the land is worth???

Thought it was a depot not an actual supermarket.
Thats what i heard....could be wrong.

I can't imagine a town-centre depot, when Castleford, and indeed the planned Newmarket warehousing site, sits on the crossroads of the major North-South/East West road networks.

I don't know. Do you? Honestly?

Show us a link to the depot claim. I imagine it won't be to the article where RW talks about getting change of use to retail?

I would imagine it is much harder to get PP for an industrial base, than retail, given the area it is located in. Industrial land is much less valuable than retail too.

Also, with lots of warehousing stood free around the area...

If Tesco is the supermarket who takes the site (assuming it's an "Extra" store that gets PP) it's quite reasonable that the investment value will be in the £35m to £50m bracket.

Within that the land may get the club about £5m plus a share of the investment value of the completed development (another £10m or so). Given that this is what will pay for GH I doubt you'll see much actually going into the club's coffers as hard cash, but you'll still have the benefit of a strong asset base on the balance sheet.

Dboy you are worse than Lister for trolling the Cas board. . . both sets of fans will dream and hope with the majority hoping neither will fail!! You on the other hand seem to take great pleasure from picking apart the Castleford development, are you Richard Wright's love child cast off at birth . . .
