Don't expect a T2 to look remotely like the grand artist impressions. It will be more of the same with the same low grade finishes the airport is well known for.

With Heathrow being rejected due to the Governments commitments to the Paris Accord why would the doubling of Luton be accepted?

As stated before the council have got itself into a real mess. They thought they were being clever by putting in a planning application to themselves for a business park when the whole world and its dog knows the £124 million road is the enabler for a second terminal. With it not being included in the DCO the council has found out that the council has to fund it and not LLAL which as we all know is the council. This means interest payments on money borrowed comes out of the council budget. If the airport expansion is refused the plan B for a business park can't be justified due to the cost of the road.

The council has now put out the begging bowl to Government and the tax payer in the hope that the next budget can provide funds. If they say no, together with the Paris Accord the councils plans might well die.
