Default Councillors crush tube depot plans

The new proposal, if I understand things correctly, is for the site to be
used for an engineers' depot to take on some of the functions currently
performed by Ruislip. There is a big difference between a rail-served ash
tip and a working depot with regular deliveries of materials by road.


Yep. Personally I'm interested because I live close to Chalfont and
Latimer tube station and I'm wondering if I'll be woken up by 66s whizzing
by on their way to the new depot from Aylesbury.

Does anyone know exactly what LU and/or the Infracos are planning? Is this
just a small development to serve North-West London, or a large depot to
serve the needs of the whole system?


It's all here in detail:

The original PDF of the planning application is no longer there but you
can click "View as HTML" and it's almost as good.


HTH,
Matt.
