- large environmental report due to be released next week (june 12th)
- project is being spearheaded by the salvager of the millenium dome
- project has now racked up £50m in losses (duh, because a project that has been in development for 8 years is gonna be making fat wods of dough yea?)
- local MP says the planning delays mean the project bosses are drinking in 'last chance saloon'
- First ever project to be earmarked a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP), as said earlier, something that is attractive given the projected economic climate of the country
- haven't actually purchased all the land required for the resort & its infrastructure
Just so everyone has a grasp of whats going on, Chessington developed a public liaison for their MTDP a few years back with several new attraction additions, more accommodation and improved staff facilities and car parking - of all those proposals, the only thing that came to fruition was glamping. Until they break ground, anything released is just gobble and pretty drawings to keep the neighbours happy - which according to the opposition, they won't. We'll see where the £50m has gone, maybe, hopefully, probably not.
I know they've been treating the ground for a few years now (injecting limescale??? something like that) but again - until they purchase all the land required, their (what will inevitably be) several thousand pages of planning proposals are accepted which in itself is a huge back and forth between government bodies and the london resort managerial team and designers, and they. finally. break. ground... You can't be too optimistic.
But for some reason I still am lol
