M25, although it is now looked on as an entity for a complete radial route of London, has developed in a piece-meal fashion, with each length having to be proposed statutorily and justified on its own merits. Individual lengths have been taken forward more quickly or slowly according to the problems encountered in passing through the statutory procedures.
