I don't think so, but glad to see this has been sorted and now submitted to planning and one assumes the planning inspector. This was something that needed sorting Khlav before the inquiry.

This is good news everyone and is another thing on the Newmarket site sorted and removes issues that three statutory authorities required more information on, so effectivley this only leaves the issue of reaching a resolution, well best possible compromise position because they will never give in totally, with Natural England/WYE.

It looks like Yorkcourt have reached agreement in principal with the Highways Agency, Wakefield Council Highways (and the Police in respect of traffic enforcement) and Metro in respect of public transport.

A quick summary is that Metro/Aviva will run match-day special shuttle buses for every match from Wakefield (bus station and both railway stations). They even state that for Castleford and Leeds matches, they will probably run match day specials directly from Leeds and Castleford centres to the stadium. Also, Yorkcourt/Stadium management company have agreed on a five year marketing funding plan to promote the travel plan to the tune of £85k, they won't be free (the buses) but this money will be used to 'advertise' the services.

It also looks like Metro are happy with existing services buses having the capacity to serve the site in general, but will of course will increase them if required.

They have clearly satisfied the Highways Agency that the existing strategic road network would easily cope with match-day traffic, so that is them sorted.

Finally, they have agreed to implement a 1.5km parking exclusion zone around the stadium and even agreed the streets to be restricted with the Police and Wakefield Highways to residents only on match days.

Reading between the lines, I also suspect that a car-parking charge will be made to all fans wishing to park in the stadium car park. The idea being to make it cheaper for most home fans to walk, use public or the special transport or park outside the exclusion zone and then walk. As for away fans then the charge will be such that you probably won't mind parking if you have a car-full, which most away fans probably do or indeed they will also park outside the exclusion zone and walk.

I think this is a big box that needed formally ticking, now being duly ticked!

So, given that Leeds City Council are unlikely to drop their objection for political reasons that means when a 'compromise' agreement with Natural England/WYE is reached then it will be just LCC left!

I cant believe how much detail they have to go into to compile just a travel plan!! all it basically says is they will be shuttle buses probably from cas and leeds when we play them and they will do their best to enourage people to use them, or cycle or walk, in about a million words!!
