Presumably claimed with no factual backup. Thames barrier works whether there is a new island in the estuary or not.

The problem we have is lack of space coupled with the sort of planning law which gives the opponents of any major schemes great power to delay them. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing but in places like China, Turkey, Dubai etc. they just ship people out (if that's required) and send in the bulldozers.

Hence the attraction of a green field, well brown water, site. Oodles of extra space for more runways without tearing people from their homes. The Dutch are experts in building islands in estruries to reclaim land and have the kit on hand.
