Plans

Pat

Anyone been to see the the plans yet been to last two that never came off any news would be great thanks

Maturecasfan

Nah, not really interested in hot air.
Believe it when I see actual work starting.

Matt

Is the the plans for the stadium rebuild?

Pat

Yes there now at the tigers bar Wednesday between 4 and 8 I believe

mdean

I know I sound cynical, but I have been to see more plans and briefings over the years, I can't get enthusiastic about it yet. Feels like world peace, some etherical concept that I know is a good thing, but can't believe it until I see something happen.

mdean I could not bring myself to go either after going to the other two consultations and being told porkies by the staff

Pat

There was someone on the site we’re the units are going today let’s hope we see more of this now.

Shameless

I know less than Jon Snow so don't listen to me but I do think this will happen. There is a demand for commercial space, it's worth it to Axiom and I don't see why the Council would oppose any of it. I guess we will need new cones by now?

FlatCapper

Planning App now submitted for both the ground and Axiom. Hopefully this is not just another dream phase and will come to fruition. We simply cannot keep saying we're going to do this...

Hirsty

FlatCapper The Supporters Steering Group were told directly by the developer that the money will be provided to the club immediately after the planning is approved by the council.

We shall see...

How longs it take before we hear owt.

I have seen the planning application / the plans & associated documents, which are extensive to say the least, lord knows how much that must have cost to put all those drawings & documents together.
it states that a figure of 12.2 million will be given from axiom to add to the 2 million from the council to fund the development, now lets all prey again🙏🏻

Shameless

Maturecasfan Normally about three months. That's if it isnt called in for review by the Secretary of State but as this is an amendment to the Glasshoughton site and refurb of WR i'm not expecting that to happen.

So, if we finally catch a break we could have finance in the bank by Easter.

Sure I’ve read 17/3/23 on one of the news reports.

This has come to fruition, the IMG proposals will kill the club if we dont get this done.

Am i confident? ..................................... Yep, this is the light at the end of a very long tunnel

TheSheriff

£14.2m of funding in place, that's something the club haven't had before. That's a good chunk of change to get the renovations done properly too.

Everything crossed for what can only be described as our last spin of the wheel. If this fails; we’re gone in my opinion.

RaoulDuke

After being at the "meet the directors" night easier this year when it was unveiled, I was getting more sceptical as they said in at the end of August. Then it fell back and back

Glad it's now in. And just to note, the GMI bloke there said if it got more expensive then the extra costs would be passed onto the Axiom build rather than not happen.

Also at 12.2m plus the council 2m. That's 14.4m a lot more than the 8.8m wakey got.

TheFirm

RaoulDuke The EA will respond to our mitigations. What they say will decide whether it’s a rubber stamping exercise. We haven’t actually altered much at all on the WR application, just said that much of what is required is not feasible so sadly i’d be surprised if the EA changed their stance on the back of that.

Hirsty

I assume we've all supported both planning applications?

yorky

yes i have submitted a comment in support of both planning applications

RaoulDuke

Having had a look at the comments, all positive for the ground but a few objections for the Axiom site. We need to mobilise and get plenty of replies in.

Looking at the object replies, I can understand the problem especially living on spittal Hardwick lane, but Axiom have added a strategic green space barrier, raised hills and trees. Adding the 15m to upgrade the motorway junction will also help.

Hirsty

RaoulDuke We (Steering Group) were asked by the club to suggest people prioritise their responses and support for the Axiom site - for the very reasons you've identified in your post.

I completely agree with your request for us all to mobilise and get supporting these applications!
