Yeh, on the M62!
They are closing part of the slip roads it seems. I would assume this is where they are planning to park work vehicles as they can hardly park them on the site/main road!

Clearly says it’s for access to 5 Towns Park...

There are other considerations i.e. soils, and there are rules which have to be adhered to. You do not strip soils in winter, so nothing will happen on that front until the winter is well over

Yes and in to allow them access to the site. They can’t park on the site so they will have to close the M62 to park all the equipment/machinery to do the road layouts

Would we expect phases 1 and 2 to be completed this year, starting on 3 and 4 in 2019?

Or our can everything start when phase 1 is competed?

Phase 2 and 3 cannot start until the reserved matters (detailed plans) are submitted to the council and approved. These are due to be submitted Spring/Summer.... So expect this to be done in the Autumn :) .

It would be extremely unusual for Highways England to allow its slip roads to be used as a 'car park' for equipment not being used as part of a Highways England scheme.

You have to remember that this isn't just the development but the whole road layout from Xscape upto the miniroundabout near the George V.

All being done at no cost to the council or Highways England (who I believe were looking to do it).

Just something I’ve heard today.
Thought I’d share it with you all.

The farmer of the land as yet to be paid for that land, around 400k
He as threatened apparently to plow the field and grow crops there.
Anyone heard owt, or why the land as yet to be bought by the company involved.

Let’s not get to riled up, it could be nonsence.
Though the source is good..

Sounds like some more cr@p rumours.

I heard that we were building the stadium out of Lego bricks, I’m not sure if it’s true but it comes from a reliable source who I’m not wiling to name .

So not a full field.

If I can buy that much land for £400000 get me in touch with farmer Giles and I’ll buy the land instead of Lateral.

Huddesfields time scales looking in trouble already.
102 weeks to 2020 you said.
As I see it
The site has to have coal removed.
According to posters in here that can’t start till spring.

Then we focus on road works that are in preparation for the site.
If the site has not yet been secured ( the deal is yet to be signed)
Why would Lateral be paying for road improvements .

You need to work backwards on this development .
The retailers need to commit.
The numbers then need to stack up especially as the developer is chucking in 10 m for a ground , as well as setting aside a large area for a country park.
Probably 25 m of costs by the time roads and cables are laid.
It’s not that bigger site to make that much money.

As we stand there are not enough retailers signed up.
Until we reach that point nothing happens as Lateral/ the developer has no return forecast.
Right from the very top this is still very much in doubt.
I was told that Friday this week.

a very depressing post Robbo, but i have had a feeling for some time that this is now not going to happen, it has always been too good to be true & usually that works out just that way, too good to be true?

The lack of retailers is a real concern.

Those we do have will not wait around indefinitely and if they go we are well and truly up the brown creek.
