Default The Pig in the Python - rebuilding Clapham Junction

There is a map on the Wandsworth Planning site that shows the development
site as basically 'west'of the footbridge, but extending over the tracks
and part of the sheds. As Peter Masson has pointed out earlier, it would
be good if they built it on the basis of sorting out the platform
curvature eventually, but I suspect that any changes will be at the east
end of the layout, because it will be quite difficult to widen the western
throat of the station...

The developers also have their own site
http://www.theheartofbattersea.co.uk/
but there's not a lot of information on it

That's notable in that it doesn't actually include anything above the tracks
or platforms, which was suggested by the Wandsworth planning page I linked
to...

They appear to be different areas. The "Heart of Battersea" plan is
for the area east of the footbridge and south of the tracks (i.e. the
shopping centre).

Is there any connection between the two proposals - the same developer
perhaps? Plotting them on a map it would appear that they are not
mutually exclusive and both could happen.

Isn't the west proposal just an idea being floated by the council? I
doesn't seem to have a developer attached, and the Internet Archive
says the page has been sitting there unchanged since at least
September 2006. And it's even less attractive if other proposal
happens next door.
