A core reason I have seen on another forum was that the numbers weren't justified in the short term to develop the T1 site. Then the costs associated with demolition owing to how much essential infrastructure is routed through T1 makes it uneconomic to consider until there is justification to redevelop the site. The better option in the short term is to mothball it until there is a need to develop T2 further.
