| Quote jakeyg95="jakeyg95"So what can the council actually do now to try and force the developers hand? Nothing?'"
They could try and use a CPO and then sell it to another developer, but that would take years and they might lose in court as Manchester Council found out a couple of years ago (after ringing up over £1m in legal fees)
I am interested in why only a couple of days ago Box was talking about a positive announcement. It seems that by the Trust releasing the proposed HoT for the public to see, forced Box into a corner and admitting it was a not for for purpose otherwise he would have carried on talking things up shielded by the secrecy that has been in place for the last 7 years. | | |

| Quote Prince Buster="Prince Buster"There are too many unknowns and variables, parts of that land has changed hands and some of it mortgaged. So very difficult to answer your questions. However the person with the upper hand is Peter Box he has a great deal of power to influence what happens up there. How he will use it no one knows.'"
I understand what you are saying and I know very little about buying/selling land and developing it.
However, if Yorkcourt had/have no intention of doing what they promised, it just cannot be right for them to carry on regardless, it's just wrong. | | | |

I agree - it's "just plain wrong" but sadly that's a moral judgement rather than a legal one. Yorkcourt appear to have no morals at all and I bet if the council try to hold up/deny planning permission/penalise them in any way, they will be straight to the High Court to sue the council. Given the complex nature of the companies and directors I reckon they have everything covered so they never lose financially. They don't seem to care about their reputation. From previous posts it appears that the land for the ground is owned by the farmer with Yorkcourt having an option to buy. I'd love to know how that "option" is framed. Who has the "option"? I bet it's Yorkcourt's and the farmer and council will have no say. Again I bet that the agreement stops the farmer selling to anyone else e.g. the council or the club. They will have it all sewn up nice and tidy.

Am I reading this right, the actual HoT they first submitted had LESS detail than the one on Monday? Jesus wept.. |

It's a complete farce, I just don't get how PB's mind works, unless he's up to his neck in the brown stuff with Yorkcourt.
So my conclusion, we have a business in Yorkcourt that promised to build a community stadium once trigger points were hit, they managed to swerve past the trigger point with help from Rodders and the council resulting in no community facilities being built and YC just walking away having built nothing for the people of Wakefield!
We then get to this week and the Heads of terms single page paper outlining funk all? Our glorious leader PB then gets on his high horse, he's gonna "give them what for", he decides we've been let down ( no Sherlock) , he then suggests that Yorkcourt ought to walk away from Wakefield and Newmarket in particular. So he's saying you've not built anything for us in five years, you obviously don't intend to, on your way! Job done YC, never intended to build and not pressured to build........Cheers Peter, you showed them!
