Niall Hobhouse to Alejandro Zaera-Polo
(Original in post with enclosure)
An unwelcome technical problem has arisen. Yseult Ogilvie, who is working on the model, has pointed out that the north point is wrongly given both on the FOA project and, astonishingly, in the original survey from which you were working. I won’t go into why this information was wrong but I do sincerely apologise. I think surveyors should at least always carry compasses.
The error is about 50 degrees, with the ‘mouth’ of the parabola orientated too far eastwards. I need to ask you how quickly Emory could revise the presentation of climatic information (wind, sun) in the project pdfs. Crucially, of course, we also need to know whether this suggests changes in the pattern of paths.
I attach a correctly orientated copy of the ordnance survey for information. I would like to do this before we make the formal Submissions call in about three weeks. Is this going to be possible?
