When are these latest objections dated? I thought that the 8th April was the cutt off point to submit comments?

There are still supporting comments coming in on the 12th so I guess the 8th was used as a tool to get people writing in immediately rather then leaving it and the forgetting about it.

This will be called in at regional and perhaps National level. It is just too bigger project using too much greenbelt for it not to. You can argue all you want about it being a pit before, and how it might be reclassed in the future but the fact is it is protected greenbelt now!

It was always going to get called in by the regional office due to the greenbelt (not greenfield) factor. You're not telling us anything new.

Thank you for your insightful comment! No really, you clearly really have a full understanding of how the planning system works. I and others are happy to engage in constructive discussion on this issue, how about you start and give us your take on LDF's replacing UDP's?

Here's my e-mail to Mr. Calvert: As one of the voters in the new Morley & Outwood constituency, I am quite concerned by the article in the Yorkshire Evening Post on the 7th April - http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 6207914.jp - in which a major development, which will bring jobs to this area (and I speak as someone who is currently unemployed) and a stadium which will benefit not just the team I support, but also the local area as a whole in terms of the sporting events which can be brought here, is seemingly trying to be hijacked by colleagues of yours from outside the constituency boundary. The irony of this row over 'greenbelt' land, is that up until the 1980s, this area was covered by Newmarket Colliery, which was hardly an outstanding feature of natural beauty and, on closure, lost jobs and destroyed the community in terms of local residents having to move further a field to gain employment. Please could you advise me on your opinions on this project. And his response: The article you refer to reported the concerns of locally elected people, both councillors and others, regarding the amount of distribution and industrial use of the land near the stadium. My own position is that I am totally supportive of the stadium development plans for the colliery site. As you rightly say most of that area is green-belt in name only. The entrance to the site is especially filthy with the flytipping. My concerns are not that their should be no new jobs on the site, I am by instinct pro-development, it is the nature of the development around the stadium (which I continue to support) and the lack of any consultation between Yorkcourt and local parliamentary candidates. (I will update with responses from the other candidates when I get them...)

Well that is much better and more positive than crowt123's reply from him, but still non-committal . I wonder if he has now taken a closer look at the application and done some more digging in respect of the source of the objections?

He is still sitting on the fence about the surrounding development but he has scaled that back to "concerns about the nature of the development around the stadium" and of course he is now talking about lack of consultation to local PCC's by York Court???

Two of the three PCC's for Elmet & Rothwell have read my e-mail to them last Thursday & Friday respectively, but no reply... bet I don't get one!

Did you find an e-mail for Lib Dem candidate for Morley & Outwood?

PS. Ed Balls knows about the issues (Labour were at the door on Sunday morning and one of his door-step gang took some notes down and promised to double check on mine and other e-mails). He confirmed that Ed tends to write back via letter and he suspected we would probably all get a similar letter back once he has had chance to review and reply.

Oh this guy is good, he is a king of deception and misdirection - he should stand to be an MP with such 'creative' skills, he would fit right in! He uses a standard Ed Balls circular flyer, probably being sent to everyone they have named details for and says "Here’s a letter received today with no mention of any green issues or green belt." and therefore makes it sound like he has replied just to them and ignored the issue! http://www.wakefieldccg.co.uk./ He also blanks out his name from the letter... well, I am so against this development and wish to stand up and be counted, air my views, exercise my democratic right to object... however, would like to keep my identity secret, is that ok? Take a bow Mr Face the Future! What a weasel!
