Not good at all - it's something that Yorkourt are going to have to address - quickly!

The outline application is the most important. The detailed application follows on and is often a "reserved matters" application which after the outline consent is relatively straight forward. No outline consent - no detailed consent - no stadium.

I don't think there is need to panic yet, I'm sure YorkCourt will have come accross this situation before but they will have to address the WY Ecology's concerns now. Remember, Natural England are not objecting to the proposal which is helpful.

Still need all on here to get letters of support. Did mine ages ago, its so simple so no one has any excuses.

I will kill the otters myself if it puts the mockers on this. Bloody tree hugging hippies get right on my nerves.

I think you need to validate your account. Check your spam filter if you've not received an email from them.

If you do you will face imprisonment, Otters are Protected like Great Crested Newts which I haver come accross before.

Seriously though I have read the letter from West Yorkshire Ecology. They are not against the development as such but are objecting the the granting of permission to the scheme as submitted. They are wanting to see a further survey and mitigation measures in respect of the otters habitats.

I would hope that thier concerns can be addressed by YorkCourt and they will then remove their objection.

Otters add little value to my life, and if I had to choose between the global extinction of otters or the extinction of Wakefield Trinity, due to the lack of a stadium, the elongated water rats lose out. And while we're on it, I could imagine a life without newts. Name me one thing that an otter does for anyone, as opposed to a rugby club, which gives a lot to thousands.

Next week, we'll be discussing the Amazon. What are all those trees really for? We want to explore one of the greatest rivers in the world, and you can't build a road anywhere near it for the blooming things. Or a hotel. Or a McDonalds. You've got to eat when you explore.
