if you can't be bothered to read it all, heres a summary

The track layout will remain unchanged according to the plans, but there will be substantial revamp of facilities including, two new hotels, an exhibition centre, a technology park, residential housing and educational facilities are all proposed to be built in Silverstone's grounds.

I wonder how the locals will recieve the plans. I expect the new houses would cause complains as people in rural areas generally dont like larger community growth

wonder what bernie will think of the plans also

Ecclestone has told Silverstone, if they dont make the improvements he will pull the GP from Silverstone which will lose the cicuit millions per year.

So as said, it is his doing, I havent said anything for you to disagree with mate.
