The "green belt" claim on that site is complete utter twaddle! How can it be green belt, if there were buildings/structures once present on the fields, not to mention the Newmarket Lane access road itself. At the very most, this is brown belt, which means for non-geologists, the land can be used for building work.

The land is Green Belt. I've explained it earlier, the site is Brownfield as it was previously developed with Greenfield (as opposed to Green Belt) being land that has not previously been developed.

Green Belt is a planning designation for land that is intended not be developed in accordance with the Local Development Plan or Unitary Development Plan as they were called. It can be Greenfield or Brownfield land. The Local Authority can redesignate Green Belt land for development as they did at Glasshoughton.

My take on this would be that whilst a gorundshare seems to make much sense from a cost saving point of view, at the end of the day, there will only be one set of corporate facilities / one set of dining facilities and one set of education facilities etc.... As such, you can only charge them out once.'

You can only charge them out if you own them not if you are the / a tennant surely. Surely the community trust would be the business reaping in the reddies and not one of their tennants.

Quite right. But if the Community Trust run the stadium and we control the Community Trust????

I understand Yorkscourt Properties own the area of land in question. Would a development company acquire a piece of land if they were unsure as to whether they would be able to build on it for any purpose?

I’m pretty sure this issue will have been factored in to the schedule and budget.

your post is utter twaddle. Read what has been written before you & take in the distinction between greenbelt and greenfield.

I could speculate about the chances of a development going ahead on any given site however I would have no background knowledge to substantiate that estimate. These guys will have and will know what may be granted and what perhaps may not.

The land Paragon Business Park was built upon used to be very green and from the aerial image its not too dissimilar to the proposed Newmarket site.
