I don't think we need such a detailed sheet for a home game. A simple - sign up and support our new stadium should be more than enough, and we probably will do something for the Cas game!

However, the form produced by Khlav is excellent for those in the areas around the development or those with no interest in the rugby itself. There is definitely a case for having them distributed around Stanley etc.

would love to help out but kids playing in curtain raisers

Just a question.

Who is going to read the comments regarding the development?

Is it just for the benefit of the General Public, or, will the powers that be, take them into account when making their decision?

From what I understand the on-line system is supposed to be as equally relevant as the letters they also receive in support/objection. It is just a more modern relevant way to get people to contribute. The reason it asks for your postcode is so they at least have the ability to check that a comment has come from a relevant postcode and check back with the electoral register if required to validate the individual concerned. With this been seen as a city wide benefiting development, all comments within the district will be read and considered, with the more local 'postcoded' comments carrying more weight, for obvious reasons.

So yes, I understand so.

I received a letter yesterday advising that all comments will be taken into account when a decision is made on the application. The making of decision on most applications will be delegated to the Service Director for Planning who I’m guessing will read the report set out by the case officer.

Whist the comments are taken into account, it doesn’t follow that an application will be approved or refused because of letters of support or objection have been received due to the other planning considerations of the case.

If you’ve sent in comments you’ll more then likely receive one of these letters.

To hammer home the importance of the flyer I assume.

ITS VERY IMPORTANT!!

There was no conscious reason for using capitals although I think wildthing makes a good point. I don’t think it’s worse for reading because of it?

Cheers for that.

I'll probably go with the economic benefits, rather than the obvious

Got the same letter yesterday saying my comments have been recieved, anyone who's not commented on the Wakefield Council planning site do it now, just register and add a comment of support it only takes 5 mins.

4 objections received today meaning they have crept up to 30% now. Click the link in my sig or visit the SWAG website to see the latest figures.

9 in the last 4 days is a worrying trend if it continues....
I only wrote mine in yesterday.. honestly takes less than 5 mins to do.

Obviously the Methley residents have got together and co-ordinated a response of objections. We need to increase the support co-ordinated response. Download the Flyer and pass on to people you know who do not have an internet connection who want to support the development.

My comments:
=#000080I would just like to add my support to this application.

The project as a whole will generate jobs and income for our City. I believe that the developers in this case have thought long and hard about ensuring this project will not cause traffic/congestion problems for local residents and they have also factored in several areas for wildlife habitats so there should be no detrimental effect on the areas wildlife.

The development will also provide a stadium which would become home to the City's only professional sports team and a venue for regional/national competitions which will bring additional revenue into the city, as well as additional sporting facilities to be used by the wider community which should in turn promote health and wellbeing within the residents of Wakefield.

With these factors in mind I can only see the development as being beneficial to the district and am fully behind this development.

What's the link to the Voting page to make a comment?

Swag website has all the details.

How can the public read any of the comments for or against,can't find any link.

planning.wakefield.gov.uk/online ... CT8QQ04200 Click view associated documents. There's not a good response from West Yorkshire ecology society at all pretty damning to be honest.

Indeed, not good at all. Still I think it’s something that can be resolved, after all this is just the Outline application with detailed to follow. Specifics of the increase in woodland such as species etc would no doubt be added into that. Also mitigation can be incorporated into the design to preserve the Otter’s habitat outside of the proposed site.

Not good at all - it's something that Yorkourt are going to have to address - quickly!

The outline application is the most important. The detailed application follows on and is often a "reserved matters" application which after the outline consent is relatively straight forward. No outline consent - no detailed consent - no stadium.

I don't think there is need to panic yet, I'm sure YorkCourt will have come accross this situation before but they will have to address the WY Ecology's concerns now. Remember, Natural England are not objecting to the proposal which is helpful.

Still need all on here to get letters of support. Did mine ages ago, its so simple so no one has any excuses.

I will kill the otters myself if it puts the mockers on this. Bloody tree hugging hippies get right on my nerves.

Sorry, haven't read all the the thread. I've registered but it won't let me log in straight away. Do I have to wait for an email from them before I can log in???

Yes took about 10 mins for mine.
