Penistone999 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Prob done that deliberatly so to safeguard seats...or is that just me being cynical lol Past experience with this council makes you very cynical. ---------- Post added 08-05-2014 at 15:57 ---------- The program that was on BBC about planners was a real eye opener! Try to catch it on the iplayer. It shows all the process. It was not Sheffield area but somewhere down south. Were there plenty of stuffed brown envelopes being passed under the table ?

NT86 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Gotta love the priorities of SCC. More than willing to 'recognise' Somaliland in order to win a few votes from that community. But delaying a decision on a store that many residents want in the area. The eastern section of Sheffield needs more jobs. This is becoming as farcical as the Next decision. IKEA could pack up and move elsewhere if they're being mucked about like this. I'm sure Markham Vale near Chesterfield would be happy to take them on.

AndrewC Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Prob done that deliberatly so to safeguard seats...or is that just me being cynical lol Yes, because delaying the decision for so long has really gone down well with voters such as yourself. Has it not been mentioned on here that it is actually apparently Ikea who have caused most of the delays in this application, either by request to strengthen their arguments re: Traffic etc. or by not providing correct info? I'm sure I read that on here, or the other place (Skyscrapercity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you could certainly see the councillors making the decisions on politics rather than the plan itself / community / the planning depts. advice. To me, it looked like trying to buy votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnairn8417 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's amazing that this Ikea thread started 10 Years ago and we are still having to go to Nottingham or Leeds to get some cheap shelves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If you look back in this thread you will find http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9950325&postcount=2196 Which says "Sadly, ikea Sheffield, has been put back to 2018 now." When challenged as to where the information came from the reply was "I'm not a troll .. Tut .. My husband works for IKEA in management." http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9952506&postcount=2205 Could be the answer is with IKEA or the posters husband.

Kashul Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 IKEA Sheffield In May 2013 we submitted a planning application for a new IKEA store in Sheffield next to Meadowhall Retail Park. http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=MN3M84NY09900 June it is then, I sincerely hope that SCC vote in favor. I wonder how long it will take to build if they do, personally I think this can do a lot of good for Sheffield, be really good if there was a park and ride option for cars, then people could hop onto the tram to the city center as well.

dutch Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Tja.... I am all for air quality but if you got a motorway, and a reasonable strong network of roads and a tram there. Dream dream dream but you are not gonna dream a better place to reality and all that business and money they could be getting now if they had just let them put one up there. Sheffield has two uni's. Ikea is unistudent stuff, it is not fair to not let them have access to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
