Talk about red rag to a bull newcold are going a start phase 2 extension to the Newmarket site , another kick in the spuds !!

Another planning application?

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... _tn__=%2As I'm anticipation of final planning approval. Hmm. On the QT again I see. Perhaps the council won't be so careless with their legal representation this time so not to misplace it. I notice they stick to referring to pallet space rather than square footage.

So a massive upgrade in floor space on the land covered by the S106?

By the looks the section 106 trigger point won't even be started no matter what goes on the land there.

So do we all write to Box and the planning department objecting to the planning application

They already have planning permission. They only built half of what was approved and now they are about to build the other half.

Strange, the link insinuated additional approval was required. If there was further planning required it would've been an ideal time for the planning department to rectify their error.

That makes our situation even harder to take. Can't believe how they have got exactly what they want and we have got nothing.

Does any one know the planning reference for this "extension", when I search for it, it comes back as unavailable which makes it difficult to see yet alone object too. I am not a Wakefield resident but would urge every RL supporter to object to WMBC about this expansion. From their post, they need planning - so surely now is the time for thousands of objections!

I often walk the footpaths in this area .Every time I see the giant white shoebox I wonder what the architect was thinking of when he designed this abortion and why did the planning department allow it to be constructed.Presumably the planning department thought it was a very attractive design that fitted in well with the surrounding countryside.

The architect must have been drunk at the time then
.
I often walk around the area close to the J39 site that was proposed. Despite there been several offices and car showrooms around there is a feeling that there is a lot of unused area.

Is it a time to think alternative options to Newmarket

There's a patch of land right next to the J39 slip road between the M1 and Burger King that looks big enough to house a stadium and surrounding car park etc..

Somewhere like that would help increase crowds because of the ease for away supporters to get in and get out, particularly coach trips.
The surrounding area would be an attraction and if visitors to Wakefield started seeing the Pugneys, Sandal Castle, Wildlife Sanctuary and the clean tidy nature of the area, then the impression of Wakefield might improve.
