 Poster: A snowHead

A report in the Telegraph suggests the next Xscape snowdome may be destined for Lakeside shopping centre in Essex. With Hemel Hempstead Dry slope having recently won planning permission to 'go snow', competition seems to be hotting up for the snowPound in London and the South East...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/02/25/cnxleis25.xml
Saw this in y'days paper and noticed the small comment at the bottom about the 4th Xscape being at Lakeside,which seeing as it's about 20mins from me is very handy indeed!
Has anyone else heard this and any idea timescale from their other sites on how long from planning consent to being built takes?

News just in on Lakeside, i heard today that construction will start in Jan 08 and scheduled for 12 months (but more likely longer) according to a source in the know.
sounds like two new snowdomes for the M25 ring in '08

Looks like this has been delayed by at least a year.
Quote from their website:
"Due to the amount of work that needs to be completed before work on the project can commence we have decided to continue trading as an artificial ski slope for another ski season 07/08. At the end of the 07/08 season the intention is to close the slope in order to start the works."

Has anyone had a serious think about building an Xscape at Lakeside? How many Burburrey caps and fake Louis Vuitton bags can you get in one fridge?

skimottaret, Im sure it'll be ok, Eisenegger(sp?) will just add some hideous fake fur jackets etc to their constant 80% sale. Or there'll be a lot of authentic 'Spider' clothing knocking around......

kevinrhead, No problem, it should have been now, but the Architect was changed and the building redesigned, so groundwork that ideally should be done in the summer, could not have started till the winter. By delaying we only miss 1 winter season.
