Default LCR's Stratford City land wanted for Olympics

wrote in message
ups.com...

[the Olympic committe want to use some land that L&CR are planning to
develop]

Anybody know why they can't arrange a lease arrangement with the land
owners. They are going to get rock bottom prices because it is
semi-derilict industrial land and after the Olympics it will be worth
billions. A nice little earner for the people doing the compulsary
purchasing.


No, L&CR have outline planning permission to build a huge property
development at one of Central London's biggest transport hubs. If the
Olympic lot are daft enough to compulsory-purchase the land, then the
compensation bill will be astronomical...
