"Now waiting to be 'done up' for the Olympics, the government paying lipservice as always to what it will do and the handservant EH spending vast amounts of money that went exactly where - no where but into the pockets of those that would get greedy on anything that goes and will fit into their bank balances very nicely thank you ;)"

Oooh, thank goodness I'm not as cynical as you lot!
I'm sure EH will return to me the taxpayer the oodles they spent on the land and the £17.5 million they paid in architects fees, all for a Visitors Centre that can't be built.

The fact they spent that money BEFORE knowing if it could go ahead or even if they could get planning permission is a mere detail.
