The whole apron is having to be replaced over the next few months due to cracking etc

Not quite accurate. The Taxiway system is to be overlaid with tarmac (like Alpha is now). The works are to prepare the worst areas of concrete for the overlay. You will find other areas being closed and stands going out of service as the work progresses.
During the work Victor is moving 5 meters North giving a code E taxiway and allowing for the new Wide body stand configurations the new Pier will require. The 70's will be reconfigured during this gaining an extra stand.
Hope that helps.
