There are some bats near J30 .... luckily they are only cricket bats down at the Oulton Cricket Club over the other side of the M62

Sorry to disappoint you on this one, but BV will (eventually) become housing - not a supermarket. The planning process has been underway for some time for (I think) 150 houses.

We need some confirmation from the MOLE

2 seven figure grants. more than enough for other investors/spectators to sit right up and take this project very seriously.

Ted did put a planning application in for housing on the site though didn't he Al, so unless the supermarket have come in with a late bid it would seem that housing would be the obvious use, which would be a shame because you could well imagine Tesco (assuming SWC meant them) paying more for the opportunity of building on there than a housing developer.

As a nation we don't have a housing industry anymore! in effect everything has been scaled down and frozen up to ride out the economic storm. Tesco have been dying to move in on the Wakefield market for the past decade. An area the size of BV would be perfect, with a local population to draw from for employment from with a good mix of working and middle class housing estates in the immidiate vacinity. And while it may not have the best road access at the moment for a company that employs more people than the British Army and makes over a billion pounds a week this is just a mild and tempoary inconvenince.
Tescos will move in on the Wakefield market theres never been a doubt.

I've heard that Tesco want to get back into Wakefield & they were rumoured to be a partner for building a setup similar to Warrington's at J40 of the M1. Although the construction industry isn't having the greatest of times at the moment, I'm very reliably informed that the club got one to put pen to paper before the credit crunch hit.
