In terms of this actual tunnel, I'd suggest yes - wait until the tunnel 
starts being dug.

There are already landuse changes at the top end 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/147166450#map=16/51.7099/-0.6932 
(which makes sense).

Also (shameless plug) there are also maps out there such as 
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=51.70897&lon=-0.69019 
that should show you proposed rail, and where the tunnels, bridges and 
embankments are, as well.

Best Rergards,
