The compulsory purchase is for a few square metre's of grassed area's in front of B&Q, Pizza Hut, Mc Don's and the Ford Showroom to enable the new gyratory road system to be constructed.

im really trying but where is there grass in front of those places and i thought the roads were sorted coming from jct 31 ?? please please dont tell me when the road works are done there is more to come

Yes there are more alterations to colorado way, the works now are nothing to do with the scheme they are just to re-constuct the road surfaces.

Bit unnecessary, don't you think

Wakefield planning issues have got bugger all to do with Leeds, and any objections they raise will be dealt with by the planning process. When all said and done, Leeds are just a bit narked that Wakey have beaten them to it, cos IF we get permission it probably snookers any chance Leeds have for their side later on.

And as for the compulsory purchase - if I owned any of that land I'd be offering it to the developers at market rates (and then some

) 'cos it must be pretty valuable to the developers - it stops you in your tracks if you don't get it. And if they tried to compulsorarily purchase it at any less than what was a good price I'd be fighting it through the courts.

FWIW, me being a nasty suspicious sod, I think WMDC are playing silly buggers so that they don't have to put any money into either scheme, and they'll blame it on Cas and Wakey pig-headedness!!

Decision was due a week or two ago, but was put back 'til September by WMDC, then Box put his oar in in the Wakey Express saying we should share or there's no money for anyone - sounds like politics to me!

You keep saying WMDC put the application back, Have you read the submissions by the highways agency and others? They are the reasons behind the defferal, without the highways and other statutory bodies issues being seen to they wont even consider it

Someone put the decision back, and that could only be the planners or the applicants - I heard it was the planners, but like everything else on here that is just hearsay. I'm not really up on planning matters - does your full permission rely on you getting your highway matters sorted out (the grassy knoll!) before your outline permission expires?

Oh, that bit!

You mean fortunately - believe it or not I want you to get your stadium and us to get ours (wishful thinking, I know). Actually, I'll be sorry to see WR go, I love that type of stadium - not really suitable for the la-di-da RFL nobeds though, is it.

I honestly think that the heart and soul of RL is being ripped apart by soul-less hyenas with fake tans interested only in fake plastic stadia filled with 'middle class' plastic fans watching plastic rugby played by plastic participants interested more in their bank balance than the sheer pride of playing for their team. The futures bright, the futures plastic!! Not the kinf of future I want to look forward to, TBH. Good night!

I mean unfortunately. It means that "they" can get "their" hands on what "I" have managed to scrape together whenever "they" like at whatever price "they" deem suitable provided that "they" can demonstrate that it's in "the public interest". Doesn't really matter that in this case it could be working in "my" favour.

Depends on how 'they' define market value. The fact that 'they' need it for their multi-million pound stadium surely MUST increase it's market value, and that should be taken into account when fixing a price.

I'd agree with your sentiments if it was someones house or garden, but in this case there is surely no sentimental value to the land?

There's a difference? It's the principle I'm talking about, here.

Can't let luddites and NIMBYs stand in the way of progress. As long as it's fair and for the greater good - trouble is you have to rely on politicians to make that call!

Nice attempt at a windup.

However, this thread isn't about my personal feelings on the wider issues of compulsory purchase. Unfortunately it was and unfortunately it stays, IMHO. Maybe we can thrash this one out over a pint sometime, but this message board isn't the place as I don't think it's of much relevance to Cas Tigers and/or the new stadium.

I agree Leeds shouldn't be able to scupper your ground! unfortunately the "planning process" will become a whole lot longer if/when they do oppose the scheme, do you really think central government is gonna just give planning for a stadium on green belt to a council when they already have planning for a stadium on the regions most visited non paying attraction?

Magners please

if you are paying.

Thanks but don't worry thats no longer a issue



YEP.

ahhh the polecats are in, dont forget to wipe your feet on the way in, and dont get comfy unless youre renting at GH

No problem. You too!

I'd support a merge.

Good idea.

Then you might be able to hold on to your youngsters.

=#8000FFYou should merge with Hull KR, then you might have a squad strong enough to hold up for a full season

True, I was in favour of a merger when we were both .

Now I think hkr moving to Sheffield would be a better idea.
