does this now mean in theory that building could start as soon as next month if govt dont object?

No. There is a 28 day period for legal challenge and Government Office have to decide if it should go to Public Inquiry. Also the matter of the Highways Agency Article 14 Notice has to be dealt with and the Developer now needs to apply for Detailed Consent for the Stadium and infrastructure.

The Developer will deal with the HA's concerns and I cannot see a Public Inquiry being called. The Planning decision was unanimous and the objectors have been led by a NIMBY who appears to have little credibility. It will in my opinion it will be passed back to Wakefield MDC who will rubber stamp it.

If YorkCourt submit a detailed application at the end of November we could have consent early in the new year and start building straight away with completion in time for the start of the 2012 SL season.

Great day for the Club and we can now start to build and look forward.

A big thank you to TRB, SWAG and all involved and not forgetting Ted Richardson who never gave up after Thornes Park collapsed.

Again a big thank you from Sandal Cat to all concerned, you have made my day - I'll have to celebrate with a few tonight.

I can't see how it could not go to public enquiry with the amount of opposition.

apparently 3 opposers didnt turn up and one make a fool of himself by not being able to answer questions - yeah Come on the Mighty Trin

Nice to see that Sky are in no rush to publish our good news

well done. Here is hoping you have a smooth journey to a new ground.

Re: Planning Approved!!!!!!!!!! : Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:19 pm  

Just want to add my congratulations and the heartfealt thanks that comes with 50+ years of supporting Trinity goes to SWAG and TRB and all the others - it makes my paltry letter writing to councillors etc. seems pretty small beer. The effort and time they invested must have been huge and probably took over their lives at times.

I vote for at least a plaque at the main entrance to recognise the efforts of those without whom nothing would be happening - and I'll contribute to its cost!!!!

it was two that failed to turn up. as for the other 3 they made no form of creditable argument between them. one of them tried to raise environmental issues as a concern. not realising he was sat next to a bloke from the environment agency who proceeded to inform him he was talking poop. speaking to eric timmins during and on the way out of the hearing he seemed to think we could get an answer within the next 7 days. albeit very unlikely. fantastic news for the club and the city. thanks to all concerned especially TRB

What a wonderful day ! The result never looked in doubt the more the meeting progressed . In fact the case put by the objectors was pitiful, so much so that two didn't even turn up !

Re: Planning Approved!!!!!!!!!! : Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:49 pm  

A big thank you to everyone who put in the hard work to get us this result today. Still a long way to go, but as fans, at least we can dare to dream again.

Well done!!!

Re: Planning Approved!!!!!!!!!! : Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:51 pm  

If the decision was unanimous and the only objector was poor then logic says that the government will pass it back straight away and let us get on with it. I can't see how this can be delayed now.

I thought the Look North report gave too much airtime to the nimby woman, and the presenters opening line "Wakefield Trinity have been given the go ahead to build their new stadium on green belt land" was typical sloppy journalism.. at least the reporter outside the town hall made the correct reference to the brown belt land the stadium is goin up on and the green belt that the warehouse are.

I am writing the cheque out now as we speak folks !! What a day what a turn out ! I spoke to TRB a couple of times awesome work he has done ! No way the cons can reject nearly 2000 new job opportunities no way. Neil Fox stand corners filled in unlike Warrington where you see the cars passing ha ha. Great day gonna get drunk tonight on a few large konjaks. What happened to the people protesting against the ground ?? 600 people to 0 . TRINITY FOREVER ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
