The intention is that the scheme would end at the end of 2015 but we are leaving a period of tolerance for work to be completed, the test being that planning permission will be granted before the end of 2015, and then there is a period up to March 2016 to allow work under the planning permission to be completed. It is a concession rather than a restriction.
