planning

The planning has been in since 2022 and it’s taken this long for all interested parties to be satisfied. There is now no official reason not to rubber stamp it. All interested parties have had their say, there are no endangered newts or wildlufe, and the only thing left is a vote and there would have to be pre known issues to prevent its passing. Not just auntie Joanne being prevented from seeing the Wakefield newcold building from their loft window.

The next stop will be the stadium being passed and the Axiom part being passed pending the monies being transferred over to the stadium build account.

For the naysayers, I still don’t know why the Axiom people would put this much in and jump every hurdle to then pull out.

I think this is it, really is this time. However, we may end up being the only sporting club that will have to have a dedicated RNLI boat and crew standing by 24 hours a day should we get flooded.

i assume axiom still need to get plans past for junction 32?

yorky it’s already in at the sane time as the ground one. Will get agreed at the same time.

RaoulDuke thanks, so its a given that if & when the plans for our ground are passed, that junction32 will also get the go-ahead

RaoulDuke The great unknown is though is the devil in the detail. They should now both pass planning and there should be a watertight section106 ensuring the money is paid. What we don’t know is when that has to be. The train of thought is that it has to happen before Axiom put a spade in the ground at J32. But it’s likely that doesn’t happen until Axiom have enough companies signed up for that warehouse space. Hopefully this has been going on in the background and announcements will follow the planning being passed. But until that annoucement is made the start date remains unknown.

thanks, so we are still in limbo then & the long wait continues🙄

yorky Simple answer is no idea, once planning is passed it could be days or it could be months before an announcement. Only Axiom know that and anybody that says otherwise (particularly the clueless Wakey fans) is just making it up. One thing i do know though is they’ll want it started as soon as possible, time is money.

yorky yes but Axiom get a type of pending stamp. Just like the wakey deal, theres be given once the money has been transferred to the tigers building account. No payment, then their planning will be refused. I think that’s why it’s called a hybrid application.

The difference between this and the wakey one is the fact that we’ve given up our right for a new build at Glasshoughton for the refurb.

The council gave wakey money from another build unconnected with their failed build to get their 1 and a half stands.

Both have the same deal. The builders pay the money into an account that they can’t touch, for them to get planning on the land.

From the directors meeting when the new deal was put forward, they had deal(s) ready to go. Certainly one of the companies that is local, wants to stay in the area and hasn’t built anything significant to facilitate its moving elsewhere. How long it takes is anyone’s guess, like has been said it might be on the day of the planning committee meeting for it to come out or longer.

many thanks for taking the time to post this info.

FlatCapper Once passed the remaining length of the journey is in Axioms hands and it is in their interest for that joirney to be as quick as possible.

TheFirm damn straight. They could have used many reasons to pull out. They could simply have refused to pander to the EA and run away but they’ve kept spending money.

The actual cost of the Cas rebuild is less than the cost of changing the motorway roundabout at j32. To them it’s relatively cheap especially when the end game for them is the profit at Glasshoughton.

The updated plans are on the portal now showing what each room does. I’m more than impressed.

Extra boxes, lots of changing rooms and the medical stuff. Players areas and staff offices.

Is going to be fantastic.

yes i had a look at many of teh documents & they seem to have covered every need & facility in depth & if it comes off it will be a very good stadium.

RaoulDuke
the only thing I’m a tad disappointed with is that it is still in many people’s eyes a “small pitch” & i get sick of hearing people going on about it.

yorky I’m with you on this but what annoys me more is that I see some other SL pitches that have also had the lines adjusted to, presumably, accommodate a shorter pitch. Hull’s being the most notable.

Yes other clubs do it and nothing is said. Our ground is within permitted rules. It works be nice but I didnt think we could fit it in and certainly not within our financial scope.

And you know what, I don’t understand why we aren’t the king of 40/20s. Or why other clubs can’t do it more often.

But it is what it is, the same playing field for both teams.
