The plan above is how things are now as the site is cleared ready for the foundations for the two 34 and 27 storey tower blocks - twice the height of anything around - Juniper house (Skyline Walthamstow) is only 17 storeys!
At the Planning Committee in 2021 a late document was presented to the committee from C&R saying they needed to have the hole for the tube tube entrance completed by 2025. This is because the hole down to the Victoria Line platforms will be adjacent to the tower blocks foundations. C&R agreed to put £1.5m (2020 figure) towards the new entrance.
Covid came along and TfL's finances were shot to bits and they could no longer afford (£50m??) to fund the hole. LBWF stepped in and said they would try and get the funding for it (£25m??). As far as we are aware that funding is still not in place which means if the hole does not get constructerd soon one of the major benefits of this 10 year old, poorly desinged scheme will be lost. Even if the hole is funded, TfL do not have the funds to fit out the station and operate the new station.

After 2028 or later this is what the Town Centre will be:
