£350 million
Groundwork to begin in March 2011
Construction to begin in September 2011

Rare newts' ecological concerns allegedly allayed.
Anyone confirm this?

i work for a construction company that are hoping to do work on this site and we've been keeping an eye on this for literally years! we have good information that the project has been 'put on hold' until further notice, i doubt it will start this year........i was at the site only last week and there is NO sign of anything happening at all.......

cbowls30, thought as much as would've expected to have heard more about it, but the guy in the article sounded pretty definite about it
gilleski, funny thing is I heard that particular variety was native to Hemel - can you confirm? They aren't known to be great migraters...
In any case I'd recommend sticking with the more common great crested piste tazza variety, which need less looking after.

slikedges, I think they travel well in the back of a well known German auto manufacturer

They are definitely still working on the project (I think they 've now sorted the newt issue!), but last I heard I think they don't have all their funding in place.

I just can't see the funding being offered for this scheme.
You wouldn't build a Disneyland in Gt Blakenham, let alone a resort that appealed to such a small minority.

Snowshark, I have just discovered a very rare orchid in the chilttern hills. It's used for it's healing powers by an ethnic group of hill dwellers left over from the Saxon times. I am currently doing a re location deal with the elders.

gilleski, is this a cunningly disguised recruitment scheme?

You know it makes sense.
|
gilleski, But I have heard that the climate in a certain area of east Anglia is particularly suited to certain types of rare orchid.

Not before time that they got a move on .. yep I live in Ipswich and the nearest fridge is Hemel - 98 miles and the nightmare known as the M25 , near enough a 200 mile trip for some snow. Bring it on 10 mins up the road would be just fine.
