I think its more an access issue. Most developments need good access. Sticking them on the infield of a race track doesn't really make sense.
By reducing the size of infield you make emergency access better (you can easily cut from one side to the other with your ambulance or whatever rather than following the track the long way round) and also from a spectating point of view it means you can see more parts of the track during the race. In the above proposal for instance, spectators could move easily between Maggotts/Becketts and Farm Straight, the paddock and the new 'Clark Curve' in a short space of time and with minimal effort.
