For an additional cost of £20m to the cost of the DCO spot the difference.

Basically it is the removal of 6 stands needed for 36-38m as it was too expensive to put them in due to earthworks. Nothing to do with the last consultation, as no one was told about the secret plan.

The plan was to apply for 32 million but build for 36-38m. Once approved they would eventually give themselves planning permission for an extra 6m passengers. By doing it this way the Council would avoid the cost of upgrading the M1 and also claim that there was no new infrastructure needed. The problem was that a valley got in the way of the 6 stands.
