For those interested in developments around KX I discovered that all the
documents of the applications submitted in May 2004 are now on the web at:

Thanks, Jim, for bringing this to our notice.The Kings Cross Railway Lands
are a favourite subject of mine so I dipped into the planning applications
and stopped at the one for the Plimsoll Viaduct. All I can say is no wonder
these things (planning applications) take so long and cost so much. The same
things are said over and over again in the most complicated of language,
various items are referred back and forth and I believe that most of what is
contained in that document could be written in a tiny fraction of the space
they have used. The photos and diagrams are very blurry - altogether a real
eye-opener. I haven't yet taken a look at the proposals for demolishing the
Culross Building, which I consider to be much more important than the
Plimsoll Viaduct, as I'm sure it will give me a headache trying to make
sense of it. Heaven help us !!
Cheerz,
