Quote Prince Buster="Prince Buster"Guys,
I think Belly is bang on the button other than a few technicalities.
Belle Vue has had planning for housing albeit now lapsed. This is the most profotable type of use to develop land, I would argue.
OK its lapsed, but getting it back would be a simple formality .
We are also aware there was a planning restriction placed on the site which basically stated that it could not be developed without an alternative stadium made available in Wakefield. All Manni has to do is employ a lawyer like yorkcourt and our planning officer will soil his nappies and just pass it and ignore this previous planning stipulation. If developers can get away with the tricks they have already pulled at Newmarket, then removing such a stipulation would be a walk over .
Like Belly said, Manni is not going to pratt around much longer waiting to make some profit out of developing Belle Vue. He will get fed up, see the massive profit available in housing and get on with it. Anyone who thinks our council will not stop him is living in la la land.'"
Yes but it's not just the Council that can stop him is it. Sorry but I just we don't need the overkill as I think we are all fairly aware as to how grave the situation is.
You know as I know that Mani can be stopped pretty much indefinitely not that that helps anyone all that much.
Our enemy is time but then its also his enemy.
Just my opinion but now id the time for level headed thinking.
