The fact that Yorkcourt have applied for full planning for the remaining units on the site is slightly encouraging but as with all things Stadium related. I'll believe it more when they're building said warehousing up there and a new 'Multi-Party Section 106 agreement' is sorted.

Can't help but think this is just another move in the game. Mackie doesn't want to lose the planning so has to push for reserved matters which gives him another 3 years(?) to stall. A precedent has already been set by Box and Co. What's the chances the new applications will also be outside of the original application.

There is definitely some cynicism dripping from the Trust press release I think.

That's an interesting line from the Trust Statement.

The 88m group are also unable to redevelop the whole of the Belle Vue site until such time that a new Community stadium facility is built in accordance with the terms of the public planning inquiry conclusions.

I know they can charge us silly rent to force us out but that sounds like there is something in place that says we have to have a new home before we move. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Yes, there definitely is. It's one of, yes it's interesting they've signed on to supposedly develop the area again for a few years and there seems to be some movement in getting parties interested in moving there, but can we know stop the bull and get on with it because you promised to do it & ateotd it's good business for all parties involved.

Let's see what's WMDC and York
Courts response to this.

I think this is excellent news. To me, it seems like both WMDC and Yorkcourt are feeling some pressure. Well done to the trust and the club for turning the screw and asking the right questions.

They have made it clear that it is the council's statutory duty to enforce the community benefit from the planning gain. The ball is quite clearly in WMDC's court (no pun intended). How much pressure are they feeling? Will they insist on an s106 that's fit for purpose? Will they enable the development by facilitating the funding to start the build immediately? Will they do anything?

The deal for BV? no doubt we'll find out on Monday. Will Manni be in attendance?

As for Yorkcourt, you can't blame them for sitting on it for 5 years in the hope that they could make an extra £10m profit, clearly they're in it for as much as they can make, but as we haven't disappeared and removed the need for a stadium, they've had to make a move or risk losing the planning permission. It's clear they won't spend money unless they're forced to and the council has the power (and obligation) to do that.

Interesting times ahead. Hopefully, a public meeting in the new year will keep the pressure on and expose the council if they're not doing their job.

Thanks again to Jeremy Cross for supporting the campaign.

They don’t need to do anything because we voluntarily gave notice to leave.
