No point in doing the work only to have to do it all again at the end of it.[/QUOTE]
Who drew up the plans without the knowledge of working out the space constraints already in existence? Why apply for planning permission? Lose it and go to appeal and win, and then decide not to do the work?
I await the plans for R3 - shurely no mistakes possible then.
They must still have the crayons sharpened to tunnel/bridge/ramp/viaduct the M25 somehow.
