| Just been reading the last few comments added to the planning site and you have to laugh!
There is a guy who lives on Aberford Road who has written to object and says that "there is a glut of old pit sites around the area so why couldn't the development be built on one of those rather than on green belt"  - he suggests maybe the old Prince of Wales Colliery site in Pontefract 
Then there is the petition from someone that I actually know who is 'a good few slices short of a loaf' claiming that there will be thousands of deaths due to the fumes and traffic accidents - at least I think that is what it says as it is almost impossible to read and make any sense of. Also says that it should it should be situated near a motorway where lorries can get to the site easily 
I don't think Yorkcourt shouldn't have too much difficulty in addressing those problems!! |

Errr, other than the obvious location issue, they are planning to build on the old Price of Wales site! Have been for quite a while and they got outline planning a few months ago IIRC.
The other comments re choosing a site closer to the motorway proves that some people have not even bothered to look at the 'Red Alert' closely, never mind the actual application online!

reply from mr calvert to the issue:-
Thank you for taking the time to write to me.
I am totally in favour of the Wildcat's relocating to that site. What I am not happy about, and this is on the record too, is with Yorkcourt's decision to also site a huge netwoork of distribution plants on the site.
There are people living on Newmarket Lane who are rightly very worried about the impact of large HGVs accessing the site from the small road near their homes.
Unfortunately I have had no contact with Yorkcourt to discuss this with them. I do know, however, that my collegues are united in being disappointed at this lack of consultation with elected and prospective parliamentary candidates.
I hope that answers your question satisfactorily. If you would like to meet and discuss this in person please do get in touch with my office on 01924 290404.
Regards,
Antony

This reply is poor and it has left himself wide open.
1. He has obviouly only listened to the garbage spouted by the Newmarket Lane mob. He has not bothered to check out the plans himself otherwise he would have seen a new road is being built to by pass those houses, thus leaving them in a quiet cul de sac.
2. Yorkcourt have done what they have to do and more regarding consultation. Is he expecting yorkcourt to come to him or is he too idle to get off his backside and ask them about his concerns and find out the true facts.
Will you let me have his address I would like to write to him myself |

Well thats not going to happen in reality. The HGV's will access the site from a newly created road with the existing Newmarket Lane becoming an offshoot of this road. No HGV's will use the existing road. |

crowt123 - Can you PM the e-mail address you used or did you send it to him via snail mail? I have not even had a read receipt from when I copied in on my e-mail to the three PCC for Elmet & Rothwell, so could have used the wrong e-mail address for him.
Cheers.

Cheers Guys. I did not use that one (it was a google mail one I used), so might explain why I don't have a read receipt.
Will send again now.
PS. Think you are correct about him leaving himself wide open and he also does not appear (but I might be wrong) to have also looked at the proposals in detail!!! Luckily, I don't think that it is as vital that they do, as the locals councillors and members of the planning committee do, and everything seems to point to the fact that they are fully aware of the proposals and how not really any of the objections being raised are standing up.

| Loads of objections received yesterday and today, too many to keep up as the files take ages to load and are quite large. Many are just the same later photocopied with hand written address and signature added to individualise them. They are gravely concerned about the development yet they can’t be bothered to write in with their own words.
Anyhow, this is no different to the petition where people were asked to put their signatures and address to the proposals so it’s only fair that it’s taken into consideration when looking at the numbers for and against.  |

When are these latest objections dated? I thought that the 8th April was the cutt off point to submit comments?

There is one letter complaining about the proposed building work on Methley Lane and another who is 'appalled at the mere thought of new building work in Methley'. Are some of these people being told that the development is closer to them then what it is?

There are still supporting comments coming in on the 12th so I guess the 8th was used as a tool to get people writing in immediately rather then leaving it and the forgetting about it. |

This will be called in at regional and perhaps National level. It is just too bigger project using too much greenbelt for it not to. You can argue all you want about it being a pit before, and how it might be reclassed in the future but the fact is it is protected greenbelt now!

It was always going to get called in by the regional office due to the greenbelt (not greenfield) factor. You're not telling us anything new. |

Thank you for your insightful comment! No really, you clearly really have a full understanding of how the planning system works. I and others are happy to engage in constructive discussion on this issue, how about you start and give us your take on LDF's replacing UDP's? |

Here's my e-mail to Mr. Calvert:
As one of the voters in the new Morley & Outwood constituency, I am quite concerned by the article in the Yorkshire Evening Post on the 7th April - www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 6207914.jp - in which a major development, which will bring jobs to this area (and I speak as someone who is currently unemployed) and a stadium which will benefit not just the team I support, but also the local area as a whole in terms of the sporting events which can be brought here, is seemingly trying to be hijacked by colleagues of yours from outside the constituency boundary.
The irony of this row over 'greenbelt' land, is that up until the 1980s, this area was covered by Newmarket Colliery, which was hardly an outstanding feature of natural beauty and, on closure, lost jobs and destroyed the community in terms of local residents having to move further a field to gain employment.
Please could you advise me on your opinions on this project.
And his response:
Quote The article you refer to reported the concerns of locally elected people, both councillors and others, regarding the amount of distribution and industrial use of the land near the stadium.
My own position is that I am totally supportive of the stadium development plans for the colliery site. As you rightly say most of that area is green-belt in name only. The entrance to the site is especially filthy with the flytipping.
My concerns are not that their should be no new jobs on the site, I am by instinct pro-development, it is the nature of the development around the stadium (which I continue to support) and the lack of any consultation between Yorkcourt and local parliamentary candidates.'"
(I will update with responses from the other candidates when I get them...) |

Well that is much better and more positive than crowt123's reply from him, but still non-committal . I wonder if he has now taken a closer look at the application and done some more digging in respect of the source of the objections?
He is still sitting on the fence about the surrounding development but he has scaled that back to "concerns about the nature of the development around the stadium" and of course he is now talking about lack of consultation to local PCC's by York Court??? |

Two of the three PCC's for Elmet & Rothwell have read my e-mail to them last Thursday & Friday respectively, but no reply... bet I don't get one!
Did you find an e-mail for Lib Dem candidate for Morley & Outwood?
PS. Ed Balls knows about the issues (Labour were at the door on Sunday morning and one of his door-step gang took some notes down and promised to double check on mine and other e-mails). He confirmed that Ed tends to write back via letter and he suspected we would probably all get a similar letter back once he has had chance to review and reply. |

Oh this guy is good, he is a king of deception and misdirection - he should stand to be an MP with such 'creative' skills, he would fit right in!
He uses a standard Ed Balls circular flyer, probably being sent to everyone they have named details for and says "Here’s a letter received today with no mention of any green issues or green belt." and therefore makes it sound like he has replied just to them and ignored the issue!
[urlhttp://www.wakefieldccg.co.uk./[/url
He also blanks out his name from the letter... well, I am so against this development and wish to stand up and be counted, air my views, exercise my democratic right to object... however, would like to keep my identity secret, is that ok?
Take a bow Mr Face the Future! What a weasel!
